Max wattage in a light fixture

[digby]

Oh, come on. everyone here is being much too rational. You're assuming that the specs on the fixture was written by Lighting Scientists in lab coats.

I'd bet Arnie in packaging was late sending the lighting labels to the printer when his boss said "Hey, got an email from marketing asking about CFLs."

"Those fluorescent things? Oh, yeah, s'pose we should put something about them on the warnings... Ok, this website says a 13w (cfl) is equivalent to a 60w (incandescent)."

"Yeah, put that on there. Print job's late already."
