Many homeowners are reluctant to use fluorescent bulbs in their homes because they fear the mercury that is contained in these bulbs. While there is mercury in these bulbs, it is simply not dangerous unless it breaks and shatters. Even if the bulb breaks or shatters, it is still not dangerous unless you do not clean it up quickly and properly. In fact, using fluorescent bulbs (including the convenient CFL bulbs- compact fluorescent bulbs) has more benefits than dangers such as being super energy efficient compared to the old conventional incandescent light bulbs.
Here is the bottom line: If a fluorescent bulb is broken it can emit mercury vapors and cause poisoning- over a period of time. That is to say, as stated above, if you clean it up properly and quickly there is really no danger. Further, the mercury in one bulb is not even enough to cause harm since it spreads throughout the room overtime.
To safely and efficiently clean up a fluorescent bulb break, simply follow the steps below:
Note: You should take all of your old fluorescent bulbs to a recycle center.

Can I use a 23 watt flourescent bulb in a small lamp made for a 40 watt incandescent bulb?
I needed a couple of small lamps for the house, but I didn't want to spend much. These lamps were super cheap, but look nice. The only catch was, that they are limited to 40 watt bulbs. I had the bright (ha ha) idea that maybe I could use those flourescent bulbs that replace your normal lightbulbs, because they are only 23 watts. At the same time, I get the same light output as if it were a nice 100 watt incandescent bulb.
Then, I started wondering if I might be running a fire risk anyway.
Anyone have any idea about this? Is it safe? How does the heat output compare? Flourescent is more efficient than incandescent, and if a 40 watt incadescent is ok, then a 23 flourescent should be too, no?
I'm kind of sure about this, but I'd rather pick other minds than start an electric or lamp shade fire in my house.
thanks

As long as the rated wattage of the bulb is less than that of the lamp you are fine. The equivalent wattage that is printed on the box for the fluorescent does not matter, it simply tells you how much light to expect.
So the short version is you can do this without any problem.
