If the question is what wattage compact fluorescent (CFL) lamp has a similar light output to an incandescent lamp of a given wattage, the ratio is usually about 4.
A 60W incandescent can be replaced by an 13-15 W CFL lamp.
A 60W CFL lamp can replace a 300W incandescent lamp.
A 13 watt CFL bulb is roughly equivalent to an 8 watt LED bulb in terms of light output. Look for an LED bulb with around 8-9 watts and a lumens (brightness) output of approximately 800-900 lm to match the brightness of a 13 watt CFL bulb.
no because it would blow up because the socket would draw 13 watt not 9 watt
A 13-15 watt compact fluorescent bulb (CFL) or a 9-11 watt LED bulb is roughly equivalent to a 60 watt incandescent bulb in terms of light output.
A 42 watt CFL bulb typically produces around 2800 to 3100 lumens of light output.
No, it is not recommended to use a 100 watt CFL in a fixture that specifies a maximum of 25 incandescent watts. CFL bulbs have different wattage equivalencies compared to incandescent bulbs, so you should use a CFL bulb that is equivalent to or lower than the specified incandescent wattage for the fixture. Using a higher wattage CFL bulb can cause overheating and potentially pose a fire hazard.

So to replace a traditional 60-watt bulb, buy a 15-watt CFL: 60-watt incandescent / 4 = 15 watts. Note: Some brands of 60-watt equivalent CFLs still do not seem to give off as much light as a 60watt incandescent bulb.

It's about 600 lumens. The same brightness comes from a 12 Watt compact fluorescent light (CFL).
A 13-15 watt compact fluorescent bulb (CFL) or a 9-11 watt LED bulb is roughly equivalent to a 60 watt incandescent bulb in terms of light output.
A 42 watt CFL bulb typically produces around 2800 to 3100 lumens of light output.
You will have more light but at a lower cost. They produce much less heat so that wouldn't be a problem.
No, it is not recommended to use a 100 watt CFL in a fixture that specifies a maximum of 25 incandescent watts. CFL bulbs have different wattage equivalencies compared to incandescent bulbs, so you should use a CFL bulb that is equivalent to or lower than the specified incandescent wattage for the fixture. Using a higher wattage CFL bulb can cause overheating and potentially pose a fire hazard.
A 20 watt CFL may fit into the 60-watt standard. But you should never fit one higher than the 60-watt, due to such a high fire hazard. It's not exactly the wattage but the heat coming from the bulb, so keep in mind not to go any higher than 60.
A 23 watt cfl will give off roughly 1600 lumens. However that is only within a few inches of the bulb.
Compact fluorescent bulbs are widely used because they use one fifth of the electric power to provide the same amount of light as an incandescent bulb. Incandescent: 12 lumens per watt Halogen: 15 lumens per watt CFL: 50-60 lumens per watt LED: 100 lumens per watt High-pressure sodium: 200 lumens per watt
Incandescent: 10-12 lumens per watt CFL: 50 lumens per watt.
