First of all, a light bulb of any sort is not an energy saving device. It is an energy consumption device, and some types simply consume less than others. A filament light bulb, also known as an incandescent bulb, has a thin filament of high temperature wire that gets hot when electricity flows through it. In fact it becomes so hot it emits light (incandescence), so the light is produced as a by product of the heat.
Fluorescent lights produce more light per amount of energy consumed by producing less heat. These lights have a small amount of Mercury in them which is vapourised by the electricity flowing through the tube which generates ultra violet light (UV) and the UV is then converted into visible light by the phosphor coating the inside of the glass tube. Mercury is poisonous, so check EPA recommendations for disposal as well as measures to take if one breaks due to mercury vapours. Also turning a fluorescent on and off shortens its lifetime. Not recommended for short usage cycles.
Another type of 'energy saving' light is the LED. In these, electricity flows through a semiconductor (diode) junction and produces light (Light Emitting Diode). One advantage to LED lighting is that it is low voltage rather than high voltage. LEDs operate at around 5 V DC whereas fluorescent lights require several hundred volts. In addition, LEDs tend to be more robust than either incandescent or fluorescent lights. They can be turned on and off frequently with no or little damage to them.
Energy saving bulbs (typically LEDs) provide higher lumens per watt compared to filament lamps.
You can use an energy-saving bulb to save energy. Obviously an energy-saving bulb uses energy, but it uses less than the old sort - about 80% less. In saving energy you will have lower bills to pay for the energy you use, and the environment also benefits because less CO2 is released into the atmosphere at your nearest power plant.
The filament in a light bulb forms resistance so that heat can happen. The electricity then converts to light energy and heat energy so that the light will shine.
No
The filament of a light bulb overs enough resistance to current flow, that the filament heats up so much that it will glow and produce visible light.
it come from the energy source in the middle of the light bulb he clearly asked what type of energy is it?!
It is called the 'filament'.
filament

Electrical energy to heat and light.
Electrical energy is converted into light and heat when electric current flows through the metal filament of a light bulb.
