A 23 watt cfl will give off roughly 1600 lumens. However that is only within a few inches of the bulb.
That would be approximately a 30 watt 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.
a 42 watt cfl give off 2800 lumens
The bulb "pulses" because the circuit is not completely off. If the CF bulb is pulsing or flashing, it means that there is some kind of feedback loop providing at least some voltage to the bulb. Often lighted switches use the filament resistance to provide voltage to the internal bulb. Get rid of the lighted switch.
Cycle the ignition on/off/on/off/on and count the flashes of the check engine light. A pattern of two flashes, pause, two flashes would be a code 22.
A 150-watt light bulb uses energy at the rate of 150 watts, when it's turned on.
The excess heat from too large a bulb will shorten the life of the bulb in an enclosed fixture. Also, there is always the danger of too large a bulb causing overheating in the wiring and a possible fire. Never use a bulb larger than the fixture was designed to handle. If you want more light why not use compact fluorescent lamp? CFLs take about one fifth of the power that a normal incandescent lamp takes and give the same light output. So with a 15 watt CFL you could have the extra brightness you want (as if from a normal 75 watt bulb), the light fixture would not be at risk of overheating - and if you use the lamp for more than about an hour a day you should even save money on your electricity bills! You could even use a 20 watt CFL (giving the same output as a 100 watt normal bulb) and it will not overheat the light fixture. The only downside is that you can choose from various different shapes of CFL. Some CFLs may not look ok in your existing light fixture - it's a matter of personal preference - some CFL's can "look weird" in some fixtures! If you still want to use a CFL, to get the brighter light and saving of electricity costs, you may wish to change the fixture itself so that the new CFL will look ok. Always be sure to switch off the breakers at the main panel before you attempt to do any work on any mains lighting or power circuit.
Turn the ignition key on,off,on,off then on and count the the flashes of the check engine symbol .It flashes the first number then there is a short pause then it flashes the second number. Example 24 ( two flashes and a pause then four flashes). Look up this number in Chilton's/Haynes or the shop manual for the vehicle
When your Expedition is shut off and securely locked up , the theft light flashes to indicate the alarm system is armed
A strobe light
Yes, your assumption is correct. Lamp fixtures are rated on how well they dissipate the heat given off from an incandescent light bulb. As CFL lamps run much cooler there is no problem using them in the same rated fixture that is incandescent rated.
