No. Bulbs use energy, they don't provide it.

How is the new light bulbs energy renewed?
The energy put into the bulb is converted to heat and light. Low-energy bulbs just use less electrical energy to keep them bright.
Is compact fluorescent light the best energy saving bulb?
No, the most energy efficient bulbs are LED (Light Emitting Diode) light bulbs.
Are energy saver bulbs good for growing?
Yes
How much energy does a tungsten halogen bulb use?
Halogen bulbs come in various ratings, as do all bulbs.
How do you reduce global warming in interior?
Low-energy light bulbs are a guaranteed way to help the global warming issue, like fluorescent bulbs or LED bulbs.
What happens to the total current provided by the battery as more bulbs are added to a parallel circuit?
The total current increases in this case.
If two bulbs in a series circuit are equally bright then they transfer energy at different rates?
Whether or not they're in series is an irrelevant detail. If the two bulbs are equally bright, it means that they're dissipating energy at the same rate. They can dissipate energy at the same or at different rates whether they're in series or parallel circuits. It only depends on the characteristics of the bulbs.
How is the current affected by the number of bulbs?
As the number of bulbs in a series circuit increases, the current decreases. As the number of bulbs in a parallel circuit increases, the current increases.
Does the brigthness of a bulb stay the same in a parellel circuit no matter how many bulbs are there?
If all the bulbs are connected in parallel, and there is enough current, yes, the brightness will be the same. The voltage (which is the amount of energy in every charge), remains the same for all bulbs
What are energy efficient light bulbs made of?
A: There circuitry inside to boost the voltage to 300 500 volts and a triac to conduct the current but the bulbs as opposed to vacuum there is gas inside those coils.
Compare the current in a 2 light bulbs wired in a series circuit?
Since the SAME electrons have to go through both light bulbs, the current in both light bulbs will be the same (Kirchhoff's current law).
Can you use energy efficient bulbs with track lighting?
It's a question of matching the track and the bulb, so long as they use the same compatible terminals they should be ok - that is provided your bulbs are for the same voltage as the track supplies. If your track is supplied through a transformer to give a low voltage, then you must use bulbs designed for that voltage, whatever their energy usage.
How do energy efficient light bulbs save energy?
They use less current than incandescent ones, so use roughly one fifth of the wattage for the same lighting intensity.
Why do people say that ordinary light bulbs aren't energy saving?
No light bulbs actually save energy, they use it to produce light. However energy efficient bulbs use less energy than the ordinary incandescent type. To my mind describing them as energy saving is wrong, they should be described as "lower energy" bulbs.
What is the different between energy saving light bulbs and original light bulbs?
The difference between the two bulbs is that energy saving bulbs have murcuary in them which lowers the amount of electricity they require and consume.
Why do ordinary light bulbs take more electrical energy than efficient bulbs?
The filament on normal light bulbs require a higher current of electricity to light up, and are more resistant to electricity as well. This causes it to use more electricity and generate more heat.
DO incandescent light bulbs waste less energy than compact energy than compact fluorescent bulbs?
no
