Does the shape of a light bulb matter?

It most certainly does. For one, there is the matter of aesthetics. Different shapes are used for different decorative applications. Round ("G" for globular) are often used in light fixtures in baths and dressing rooms as opposed to the most common "PS" or "pear shaped" light bulbs. Some light fixtures and portable lamps will only accept "T" (tubular) light bulbs such as picture and piano lamps. Certain shapes are determined by the electrical characteristics of the light bulb. Fluorescent light bulbs are tubular as a result although the tube may be wrapped or formed into different overall shapes, it is still a tube. Compact fluorescent light bulbs are simply fluorescent tubes that have been folded or wrapped into a compact shape. Light bulbs using reflectors have to be of a certain shape in order to properly reflect light in a certain direction and pattern.


Can you convert fluorescent tube fixture to accept a led light?

No, the fixtures do not have anything is common other that emitting light. If you are talking about removing the fluorescent fixture and installing a new fixture that can take a LED lamp then the answer is yes.


Shouldn't a lamp always be able safely to accept up to a 40W compact fluorescent light bulb if it is rated to accept a 40W incandescent light bulb--barring any physical size contraints?

Yes, your assumption is correct. Lamp fixtures are rated on how well they dissipate the heat given off from an incandescent light bulb. As CFL lamps run much cooler there is no problem using them in the same rated fixture that is incandescent rated.
