More efficient, yes - since it produces the same amount of light but uses less power to do so. HOWEVER - they need to be disposed of away from the 'normal' household rubbish - as they contain Mercury - which is highly toxic !

Is compact fluorescent light the best energy saving bulb?

No, the most energy efficient bulbs are LED (Light Emitting Diode) light bulbs.


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 are light bulbs that save energy called?

EcoSmart, ArmorLite, Philips, GE, and Sylvania all make a line of energy saving light bulbs. They all manufacture LEDs, CFLs, and halogen bulbs. All of these bulbs are comparable in performance and all of these products are energy savers.


Why are energy saving light bulbs better than normal light bulbs?

LED lights are better than bulbs because they are more energy efficient, and environment friendly. You can definitely get a lot of savings with LED light bulbs.


Are light bulbs really efficient?

Normal incandescent bulbs produce a lot of heat as well as light, so are not so efficient as low energy bulbs which can give the same light but consume much less electricity


What is the price difference between a normal light bulb and an energy efficient one of the same power?

The energy efficient light bulb costs several times as much as the normal (incandescent) light bulb. The exact prices may vary from region to region. In any case, the extra cost will be more than compensated by savings in electrical energy, over the lifetime of the bulb.


What is the best light for saving energy?

fluro light


Which is the most energy efficient light source?

One example of an energy effecient device is an?

An example of an energy efficient device includes an energy efficient light bulb.


Which Lighting will be the most energy efficient?

Compact fluorescent light bulbs are pretty energy efficient and are energy star rated.


How do energy saving light bulbs reduce pollution?

Energy saving bulbs doesn't produce more heat compare to other bulbs. Therefore content of pollution is less by using the energy saving bulb. Even by using a vocca adapter to the normal bulb we can reduce the pollution. Vocca adapters are energy saving adapters. And also vocca adapter is a voice activated adapter.


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.
