Hi, I would like to get this straight. people are telling me both ways. my questions is when u buy for example a cfl 45w=150w, can u put that light bulb into a normal 60watt lightbulb socket on a lamp? because it only draws out 45w but shines as bright as a 150w indacesent, right? People have told me that i need to match up the second number of wattages (which is indacasent) to the light socket. But it only draws 45w, so whats the harm? I just do not want to burn down my cabinet grow op.

Thanks for any help.
