Does a 60-watt electric light bulb create heat energy?
Yes. Part of the energy is converted to light, part to heat. The percentage depends on the type of light bulb. Fluorescent and LED light bulbs are more efficient than incandescent light bulbs. A 60-watt incandescent bulb will be uncomfortable to remove from the socket with your bare hands after turning it off. However, a 100-watt bulb will burn you if you remove it with your bare hands after turning it off.

Fluorescent bulb is the more efficient one as compared to incandescent bulbs.
Why are LED bulbs considered to be better at saving energy than compact fluorescent ones?
LED bulbs, or Light Emitting Diode bulbs are far more efficient at turning energy into light than fluorescent bulbs. They are the most energy efficient bulbs available today and last much longer than any other bulbs. Although very expensive, the price is expected to come down over time.
Which Lighting will be the most energy efficient?
Compact fluorescent light bulbs are pretty energy efficient and are energy star rated.
How many times do you need to replace energy efficient fluorescent light bulbs?
comparing to the traditional light bulbs energy efficient fluorescent light bulbs uses 25% to 75% energy and saves money also and it lasts up to 3 to 25 times long so there is no need to replace energy efficient fluorescent light bulbs often.
Are there energy efficient table lamps?
Energy efficient table lamps are available in many online shops such as LampPlus and YLighting. Lamps can even be made energy efficient by changing the light bulbs to fluorescent spiral bulbs.
What are the advantages of LED bulbs over other types?
LED bulbs are very energy efficient, much more so than even the twisty fluorescent bulbs. Also, unlike incandescent and fluorescent bulbs, LEDs last an extremely long time. If broken they are not a health hazard like fluorescent bulbs. The downside, at least right now, is that they are extremely expensive.
Is compact fluorescent light the best energy saving bulb?

Next, you can opt for the compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) bulb, which are fluorescent lights that are made to fit into traditional light bulb receptacles. Not only do these bulbs use much less energy than regular bulbs, but they will also last much longer, saving your father money in the long run. Finally, you can choose to buy light emitting diode (LED) bulbs, which are also energy efficient. Because these are new, they are more expensive on the front end, but will last longer than CFL bulbs as well as use less energy.
