Old sockets???

[GetThisOrDie]

I found a couple of old ceramic socket fixtures in the garage... was wondering if I should use them for some 23w CFLs or if I should just get new ones. Im really paranoid about starting a fire.
Says they are rated for 150w MAX and im interested in putting two 23w CFLs in each using Y adapters.

Any advice would be helpfull!!

This, I can help with.
Ceramic socket are the safest kine.:smokin:
CFL run much cooler than incandescents.
So, lacking pictures, I'd say go for it.:thumbsup:
