People buy these bulbs because it saves more electricity. However these bulbs may only have a little efficiency meaning that most of the energy is converted to heat while the small percentage is converted to light.

Why low efficiency bulbs are called energy savers?
They are not. Low E bulbs are low ENERGY, not low efficiency. They are actually highly efficient.
Are Low energy light bulbs more expensive than conventional light bulbs?
no
What are low energy light bulbs?
the light flies
Are my opportunities to buy fluorescent light bulbs soon going to be gone?
Fluorescent light bulbs are not going to be illegal to buy, but they make up a very low percentile of the light bulb market. It is highly recommend if you want save to money that you switch to energy efficient light bulbs.
Why are you not allowed to buy 100watt bulbs?
You are still allowed (please note spelling) to buy conventional tungsten bulbs at 100 watts, but not for much longer. We are encouraged to use the 'low energy' lamps which are 4 or more times more efficient in their use of electricity than tungsten bulbs, thus reducing energy use and reducing global warming.
How is the new light bulbs energy renewed?
The energy put into the bulb is converted to heat and light. Low-energy bulbs just use less electrical energy to keep them bright.
Low heat light bulbs produce less light but save on energy costs true or false?
False. Low heat light bulbs can produce the same amount of light, and also save on energy.
How do you save on electric bill for lighting?
Solar Panels Low energy light bulbs Switch off (or remove) bulbs that are not needed.
How do you reduce global warming in interior?
Low-energy light bulbs are a guaranteed way to help the global warming issue, like fluorescent bulbs or LED bulbs.
How many years would it take to recoup the entire cost of low energy light bulbs?
A few months. You'll have to do the calculations by yourself, for your case - both the cost of light bulbs and the cost of electricity may vary depending on the region. Assume that the low-energy light bulbs use about half, or one third, of the old-style incandescente light bulbs.
Which companies manufacture low energy light bulbs?
Many companies manufacture efficient light bulbs. These include GE, Philips, Osram, and many smaller or less-known Chinese companies. Low energy light bulbs may be fluorescent or light emitting diode based. They come in different sizes.
What are energy efficient light bulbs?
A Low energy bulbs uses about 1/5 energy of a traditional bulb. ie. 20w (Low energy bulb) = 100w (standard filiment bulb) 80%+ traditional bulb s' energy is lost as heat. The 20% figure shown above only relates to the low energy bulb during its normal usage. The question was about the overall ecological balance, which includes ecological burden through manufacture, distribution and disposal (or recycling). Low energy light bulbs contain heavy metals, electronics and toxic materials, and are manufactured (and recycled) using much more complicated and, presumably, more ecologically damaging processes compared to those involved in traditional tungsten filaments. The question is still open thus.
