No difference in operation. Ceramic bulbs are incandescent, but they use a base made of ceramic materials rather than the standard metal, screw-in base found on household bulbs.

Can I use LED bulbs in dusk to dawn light fixtures?

You will need an LED Bulb that states 'Dimmable'. They have different circuitry and a little more expensive.

Bottom oven lights keep burning out.

The oven bulb is different from an appliance bulb. The glass and base are specific for the high temperature application that is seen in a oven

The link from sears shows a sample of an oven bulb and the price represents the special characteristics.

I have seen where some bulbs are rated at 130 volts?

This link from Amazon relays some of the one star reviews of the appliance light used in the oven application. All ovens are maybe not equal where the heat may be more significant in one make over another.

Must I replace its 100 watt Sylvania incandescent bulb with another incandescent? What about an equivalent CFL or LED bulb?

I would prescribe you go for an amazing LED knob.
As LED knobs are the most inclining ones and give different focal points when contrasted with some other globules.
Driven knobs are financially savvy, give a more drawn out life, Saves vitality, less hurtful to human body and condition, and so forth.

Can I use an incandescent bulb in a MInka Aire Concept II with light & remote? What is the highest wattage I can use?

Take the bulb to a bulb store & show it to them. They should be able to find a different bulb you can use.

Have 3- 13 watt mini spiral bulbs on fixture. When switch in auto mode, lights hum, flicker and not maximum brightness. When switched to on position, lights stop flickering and humming. Full brightness as...

-Replace the compact florescent bulbs with regular incandescent bulbs and see if problem continues.
-Lighting controls are made for different kinds of bulbs.
-Your package should say what the watt rating and type of bulb.

According to the PR180 manual:
-I am looking at the Leviton PR180 occupancy sensor manual, and the PR180 sell-sheet, and these documents say for incandescent and fluorescent (rapid-start magnetic ballast only).
-Compact fluorescent are supposed to have a magnetic ballast.
-The manual does not specifically say it works with 'compact fluorescent'
-The manual does not say there is a minimum amount of wattage either. Some controls will not work correctly if the overall wattage is low. Your overall wattage is 39watts.

Read the product package (if this is a new installation and you have the package)
Try the incandescent bulbs.
If the PR180 is not your product, add a comment with product number and I'll look for information

The dimmer switch will turn on and off but wont dim the lights on a chandelier. model 6681-w. tried 2 different ones with the same results.

The Leviton 6681 is a push-button rotary-type incandescent dimmer with 600Watt capacity

If you have incandescent bulbs, the dimmer should work.
If the dimmer has different color wires, try reversing the wires.
If the dimmer replaced a 3-way switch, then this is not the right dimmer.
If you have compact florescent bulbs, you need a dimmer that also dims florescent.

http://www.google.com/products/catalog
Link shows the Leviton 6673 incandescent and florescent dimmer

But you also need dimmable compact florescent bulbs.

Photos coming out with too much yellow

You're shooting under incandescent light, and the camera doesn't manage to set the white balance entirely automatically. You can try to explicitly set the white balance to incandescent, or you may be able to create a custom white balance (I'm not sure whether Nikon bodies offer that feature), or you can adjust the white balance during processing (in which case it's better to shoot raw).
