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.

Is it better to leave the room with light on or to switch it off?

It depends on the type of light. A fluorescent light takes a lot of energy to start up, and almost nothing to stay on. So leave the Fluoro on. A normal light bulb doesn' matter how many times you turn it on and off, it is cheaper to turn on and off. If you're leaving the room for more than a few seconds, you're wasting power leaving any lights on, other than possibly large fluorescents with ballast starters. However, all lighting burns out faster if you cycle them on and off more. Would you rather waste energy with more light than you need, or waste energy having to replace bulbs more often?
