As of 4-12-14 there is a 23 Watt screw in bulb supposedly equal to 100 Watt.
It is likely there are higher watt bulbs in the flourescent screw in type available today.

Information on CFL light bulbs?
A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), also called compact fluorescent light, energy-saving light, and compact fluorescent tube, is a fluorescent lamp designed to replace an incandescent lamp; some types fit into light fixtures formerly used for incandescent lamps. The lamps use a tube which is curved or folded to fit into the space of an incandescent bulb, and a compact electronic ballast in the base of the lamp.

Not at the present time. Flourescents can't be dimmed with a conventional wall dimmer ... because of that, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting.
Compare the compact fluorescent lamp and the ordinary fluorescent lamp which has fewer spare parts?
"Compact fluorescent lamps" (or, more commonly CFLs) sold direct to consumers for installation in a standard screw-in socket have an integral ballast built into the base. The ballast converts and controls the line voltage from the socket to properly drive the fluorescent lamp. Ballasts are generally fairly complex circuitry. All fluorescent lamps require a ballast. However, most lamps used commercially ("ordinary fluorescent lamps") do not have the ballasts built into them; rather, the ballasts are hidden somewhere in the fixture.

As long as the CFL has an intermediate base it can be interchangeable with any ordinary light bulb that has an intermediate base. Look on the packaging as to comparability. Look on the box for equivilant outputs between lamps to compare wattage bulbs to CFL's.

Is it true that one must operate compact spiral fluorescent light bulbs only with the base down not in inverted or horizontal sockets?
No, this is not true. The spiral-type compact fluorescent bulbs can be operated in any orientation provided that there is sufficient air circulation around the bulb. But if you put the bulb in a fixed enclosure then it will last longer if the base is facing downwards so that the heat is conducted away from the electronics in the ballast. Always follow the manufacturers's directions - usually written on the bulb. No, this is not true.
