I have a track light which I bought a few years back in one of those hardware stores. With the coming of these energy efficient light bulbs, I would like to replace the existing ones with these energy-efficient bulbs. However, there is a warning sign on each socket which says that only 50W Type R20, PAR 20, PR 120V, 60 Hz AC bulbs are to be used. Is it safe to use the enregy-efficient bulbs in this track light as long as it doesn't exceed 50W. I know they fit in the socket because I tried screwing them on.
Thanks for any information.

I would think so, but I don't know for sure. If you know the manufacturer of your track lights, I'd call them to check. Or call the bulb manufacturer.
