Any of the wasted energy that is not converted to light will be converted to heat.

Can energy saving light bulb charge a phone?
No. An energy saving light bulb is just a light bulb, and can't charge anything. The reason it's called an "energy saving" device is that it can give you the same amount of light while using less electrical energy than older bulbs used.
Does a light bulb give off radiant or thermal energy?
THe light bulb emits light while in the process heat in the infrared spectrum is emitted.
What type of energy does a light bulb give off?
It makes thermal energy (the heat), radiant energy (what we see), which is in essence more or less the same manifestation.
What uses light energy to make electricity?
to give load from bulb to ballas
Does a high watt bulb give more energy than a low watt bulb?
More watts means it uses more energy per second (watt is a unit of power). If it is a light-bulb of the same type of technology, the higher-watt light bulb would also give off more light.
Does the temp affect how light bulbs evaporate water?
The light bulb increases the temperature, and the higher the temperature, the faster evaporation occurs. The light bulb itself doesn't evaporate water. If you're using the old incandescent light bulbs, they will give off a lot more heat, and evaporate more water than an energy-saving bulb. It also depends on the distance between the bulb and the water, the surface area, mass of water, and time.
What is the job of the cells and wires and bulb and switch in a torch?
The job of a bulb is to give off heat and light energy
Does a light bulb give out heat and sound energy?
An incandescent bulb in an AC circuit does give off both heat and sound energy; the heat because the filament is hot, and the sound because the varying voltage results makes the filament vibrate. Generally it's not a very LOUD sound, but bulbs which are about to burn out often emit a noticeable buzzing.
Why does energy saver give more light than electric bulb of same watt?
Both bulbs output the same amount of energy. The difference is in how much of that energy is output as heat vs the energy output as light. In a standard incandescent light bulb about 10% of the energy is output as light while the other 90% is output as heat. This makes the bulb only 10% efficient. For a florescent bulb the output of light is about 50% and the other 50% is output in heat. This means that a fluorescent bulb outputs five times as much light for the same wattage as a standard incandescent bulb, hence you can get the equivalent of 100 watts of light output for only 20 watts of electricity.
How much electrical energy does a 75 W light bulb use if it is on 4 hours?
75W means bulb which give 75W power when connected to domestic light. Power is nothing but energy per second. Thus energy consumed by bulb can be calculated as follows. E = 75*60*60*4J = 1080kJ
Can a pinwheel produce enough energy to give to a Christmas light bulb?
No, unless you hook it up electronically then it will probably not produce enough energy to light it up as bright or as long as and outlet.
How much energy to produce one light?
Lights vary tremendously in power, but the normal incandescent bulb takes 100 watts. Low energy bulbs can give the same light at 20 watts
