There are two different technologies, fluorescent, and LEDs. Fluorescent light bulbs are more common; LEDs are still too expensive for mainstream use.

LED lamps' prices are now very competitive, certainly where I live, and make up for the unit price difference in reduced electricity consumption for a given light output. I have a mixture of incandescent, CF and LED lamps in my home, and slowly going over to LED as the existing lamps expire.
What else can I help you with?
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 does an energy saving light bulb do?
It uses less energy to produce the same amount of illumination as a standard light bulb
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.
What is the name of the light bulb?
A light bulb
Are there gases and chemicals in a light bulb?
yes there is in the spiral energy saving light bulbs there is mercury
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.
What is the name for a regular light bulb?
incandescent
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.
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.
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
Is compact fluorescent light the best energy saving bulb?
No, the most energy efficient bulbs are LED (Light Emitting Diode) light bulbs.
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.
