Most people are familiar with the incandescent light bulb which usually uses a tungsten filament in a vacuum to produce light, and the fluorescent light which uses a gas between two electrodes.

There are many other light producing devices such as the currently popular light emitting diode (LED), the sodium vapor light (the yellowish one seen along just about every street and highway), the annoying halogen light, and the Mercury vapor light, to mention a few.

Does a light bulb use more energy when in the dark?

For most light bulbs, they consume equal amounts of energy regardless of bright or dark environments.

That is why most people say we should not waste energy by switching on a light bulb in the day.
