the rule is.... run 100 watts 24/7 for 100.00/year. Your cfl will cost apx.75/year. However, while your cfl only uses 75 watts it is equivalent to apx 350 watts and produces a broad variety of colors in the spectrum making it great for growing!

Can you use a 100 watt CFL in a fixture that says the bulb should not exceed 25 incandescent watts?

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 single bulb is better if you can get it, it's simpler to use, but 23 watt bulbs are easier to find. Five 23 w bulbs totals 115 watts so they would be a little brighter.
