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.


What type of light is 20w energy saving bulb Halogen Indandecent neon fluorescent etc please help?

The energy saving light-bulbs are usually fluorescent. Neon is a type of fluorescent light bulb.


Are there gases and chemicals in a light bulb?

yes there is in the spiral energy saving light bulbs there is mercury


Why does an incandescent light bulb use more electrical energy than an energy saving bulb?

Incandescent light bulbs waste a lot of energy by producing heat along with light, whereas energy-saving bulbs, such as LEDs or CFLs, are more efficient at converting electricity into light. Therefore, incandescent bulbs require more electrical energy to produce the same amount of light as energy-saving bulbs.


What is the difference between the energy saving light bulb and the filament bulb?

Energy saving bulbs (typically LEDs) provide higher lumens per watt compared to filament lamps.


Can you use an energy saving light bulb in a fitting with dusk to dawn sensor?

Yes, you can use an energy saving light bulb in a fitting with a dusk to dawn sensor. Energy saving bulbs are compatible with most types of light fixtures, including those with sensors. Just make sure the bulb is suitable for outdoor use if the fitting is located outside.


Why does a non energy saving light bulb give off more heat than an energy saving light bulb?

Any of the wasted energy that is not converted to light will be converted to heat.Any of the wasted energy that is not converted to light will be converted to heat.Any of the wasted energy that is not converted to light will be converted to heat.Any of the wasted energy that is not converted to light will be converted to heat.


Is compact fluorescent light the best energy saving bulb?

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


What percentage of energy does an energy saving bulb save compared to an ordinary bulb?

It varies, depending on the specific model, but an energy-saving (fluorescent) light bulb should save at least half the energy, for the same luminosity, compared to the old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs. The incandescent light bulbs ought to be outlawed, except for specific purposes where the heat they generate is actually needed.


What are the differences between a energy efficient light bulb and a regular light bulb?

Energy saving bulbs reduce electrical consumption by about 75%, reduce bulb changes by x10 to x50 times. The savings in electricity and their endurance more that compensates for the higher purchase price.


How does the energy saving light bulb save energy?

It uses less fuel (electricity) and that elecriticy is converted more into infare rays (light)and less thermal energy (heat).


Can you use an energy saving light bulb in a light fitting with a light sensor?

yes as long as the sockets match up and it is not a high output light fixture
