What LED bulb same as 13 watt CFL?
A 13 watt cfl is the same as a 60 watt incandescent. So find an led bulb that is equivelant to a 60 watt incandescent
Can you use a 100 watt CFL in a fixture that says the bulb should not exceed 25 incandescent watts?
Probably, as the CFL consumption is 26 watts. Why not try a 60 watt CFL first, that would be much lower consumption.
Can you use a 13 watt CFL bulb in place of a 60watt incandescent bulb?
no because it would blow up because the socket would draw 13 watt not 9 watt
How many lumens does a 42 watt CFL give off?
a 42 watt cfl give off 2800 lumens
Can you use a 60 watt compact fluorescent bulb in a 40 watt fixture?
It depends. A 60 watt CFL draws approximately 13 watts. So you could actually put a 125 watt CFL in as it only draws 30 watts. However most CFLs cannot be dimmed nor are CFLs recommended in harsh environments such as refrigerators or ovens. Also because the coils of a CFL get larger in diameter adn height as the brightness increases, some fixtures may be unable to accomodate a 60 watt CFL let alone a 125.

How much wattage is in a CFL?
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.

How many lumens are in a 60 watt incandescent grow light?
It's about 600 lumens. The same brightness comes from a 12 Watt compact fluorescent light (CFL).

Can you replace a 60 watt incondescent light bulb with a 100 watt CFL?
You will have more light but at a lower cost. They produce much less heat so that wouldn't be a problem.
What compact fluorescent lamp bulb do you use to replace a standard 60 watt bulb?
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.
What is the lumen of 23 watt CFL?
A 23 watt cfl will give off roughly 1600 lumens. However that is only within a few inches of the bulb.
Why cfl is widely used nowadays?
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
What is the percentage of light output between CFL bulbs and an incandescent bulb?
Incandescent: 10-12 lumens per watt CFL: 50 lumens per watt.
