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.
What else can I help you with?
Can you use a 65 watt fluorescent bulb in a metal halide light fixture?
No, the ballast's output is not matched to operate a fluorescent bulb.
What size fluorescent bulb replaces a 60 watt incandescent bulb?
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.
Can you use a 67 watt light bulb in place of a 60 watt bulb?
It is not recommended to use a 67 watt bulb in place of a 60 watt bulb as the higher wattage could potentially cause overheating issues. It is best to stick with the recommended wattage for the fixture to ensure safety and proper functionality.
How many lumens in a 26 watt compact fluorescent lamp?
A 26-watt compact fluorescent lamp typically produces around 1,700 lumens.
Can you use 75 watt fluorescent tubes in 60 watt fixtures which is a different question because fluorescent lights do not operate as hot as incandescant bulbs?
You talk about tubes specifically so I assume the 60 watt fixture is also designed for tubes. In such a case you should not use a higher wattage tube. If you were to replace a 60 watt incandescent bulb with a compact florescent of 75 watts you are correct that the heat would be less. If heat were the only de-rating factor you would probably be okay. Not sure how this is handled in the code.

The recommended wattage for a 150 watt light bulb in this fixture is 150 watts.
Can you use 40 watt in a fluorescent light in place of a 32?
Yes, the wattage is just the power consumption. A 30 watt Fluorescent will give more or less the same light as a incandescent bulb or 60 watts, which is the limit for your fixture for incandescent bulbs.
How do you wire a intertek 4003485 light fixture for a 42 watt fluorescent bulb?
When wiring a Intertek 4003485 light fixture for a 42 watt fluorescent bulb, follow the manufacturer's instructions provided with the fixture. Typically, you will need to connect the black wire to the live/hot wire, the white wire to the neutral wire, and the green wire to the ground wire.
