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.
