This CF bulb is rather large and puts out about 150-175 watts of light but uses only 45 watts of electricty. This one DOES get hot though so it can not be used in an enclosed fixture, it is suitable for table lamps. ...

These bulbs are T-12 bulbs, notice how they are larger then the T-8s. Never use a T-8 bulb in a T-12 fixture. It will overheat the ballast causing failure or even fire. ...

This is a T-8 Fluorescent bulb in a T-8 fixture. The fluorescent bulb is thinner then that of a T-12 (what most people are used to) The T-8 uses less energy then the T-12 and uses a different type of ballast. You should NEVER EVER EVER use a T-8 bulb in a T-12 fixture, I have seen electrical fires result. On the otherhand sometimes T-12 bulbs can be used in T-8 fixtures. ...

This is a standard incandescent light bulb fixture that I put two 60 watt CF spiral bulbs in. A few months later one of the bulbs failed and as you can see only one works now. I attribute the failure to either too much heat in an enclosed fixture (a big no no for CF's) or the fact that it's from a not so reptuable light bulb maker (Commercial Electric) or both. ...
