The energy saving light-bulbs are usually fluorescent. Neon is a type of fluorescent light bulb.
incandescent
A fluorescent light bulb contains a gas which produces UV light when it comes in contact with electricity. Contrary to a normal light bulb this does not create any heat and is far more energy efficient.
No, the most energy efficient bulbs are LED (Light Emitting Diode) light bulbs.
They are called CFL light bulbs. CFL stands for Compact Fluorescent Light .
EEdmund Germer (90% sure) made the first fluorescent light bulb
Incandescent and halogen light bulbs use more energy than compact fluorescent lights and LED lights. Fluorescent lamps with magnetic ballasts use more energy than fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts.

Yes that's true fluorescent bulbs are better because it usess 75% less energy and works longer than a incandescent light bulb. Yes...and no. It is true that power usage decreases with fluorescent balb usage. However, one must take into account that they pollute more (i.e. mercury and other heavy metals).
You don't. A light bulb transforms only a fraction of its energy into light, and most of it into heat. For an incandescent bulb about 3% is transformed into light, while for a compact fluorescent (low-energy light) about 15% is transformed into light.
Perhaps you are asking about fluorescent lamp. This is an electrical device that uses a fluorescent bulb to give off light. The bulb is a recent invention designed to give energy savings in the residential area. The fluorescent bulb used to be used exclusively in industrial applications, but the new bulb is small and compact enough to be used in a home lamp.
Fluorescent lighting is much more energy efficient than incandescent lamps, usually by as much as 60 to 80%. That also translates into a corresponding energy savings. I don't recall the exact figure off hand, but the light output from a fluorescent lamp is about three times it's rating. For instance, a 40 watt fluorescent puts out the equivalent light of a 120 watt incandescent bulb.
