Best Answer

The type of light bulbs that waste the most energy are incandescent bulbs. They are least efficient because around 90% of the energy is lost on heat. They are also the shortest-lived light bulbs.

The most efficient lights are LED lights, followed by CFLs, followed by the new Halogen incandescent bulbs.
