Why does energy saver give more light than electric bulb of same volt?

First of all, it is not volts that counts, but watts. Watts indicate how much you will pay for your electricity bill. (watts, multiplied by the time you have it on, actually - watts is a unit of power.)
Of course, you can't create energy from nothing. What really happens here is that the traditional incandescent light-bulb is extremely wasteful - 90% or 95% of the energy gets converted to heat. The fluorescent light wastes less, but there is still room for improvement.

A bulb in a lamp converts electric energy into?
Light and heat energy.
What is electrical energy converted into when electric current flows through the metal filament of a light bulb?
Electrical energy is converted into light and heat when electric current flows through the metal filament of a light bulb.
When electric current flows through the metal filament of light bulb electric energy is converted to?
Heat and light.
What is the starting and finishing energy of a light bulb?
Zero,because the distance has no affect to convert electric energy into light energy.
Where does the energy for a light bulb come from?
it come from the energy source in the middle of the light bulb he clearly asked what type of energy is it?!
What was the purpose of the electric light bulb?
To convert electric energy into light energy
What is an example of electric energy into light energy?
A light bulb.
Why the energy saver bulb is coiled?
To have enough bulb or surface area to produce the required amount of light.
What does a bulb in a light convert electric energy into?
Radiant (light) energy.
What energy forms can electric light bulb make?
A light bulb can make heat and light.
What types of energy does a light bulb use?
electric energy
A bulb in a lamp converts electric energy into?
Light and heat energy.
What is the Function of light bulb in an electric circuit?
The function of a light bulb in an electric circuit is that it turns electrical energy into light.
When you turn on a lamp and the light bulb becomes warm which energy conversion causes this heating of the light bulb?
Electrical energy absorbed by the lamp's filament produces thermal energy as well as light.
What is electrical energy converted into when electric current flows through the metal filament of a light bulb?
Electrical energy is converted into light and heat when electric current flows through the metal filament of a light bulb.
Why does energy saver give more light than electric bulb of same watt?
Both bulbs output the same amount of energy. The difference is in how much of that energy is output as heat vs the energy output as light. In a standard incandescent light bulb about 10% of the energy is output as light while the other 90% is output as heat. This makes the bulb only 10% efficient. For a florescent bulb the output of light is about 50% and the other 50% is output in heat. This means that a fluorescent bulb outputs five times as much light for the same wattage as a standard incandescent bulb, hence you can get the equivalent of 100 watts of light output for only 20 watts of electricity.
What is a great power saver product?
The single most important power saver product of the last 20 years is the energy saving light-bulb. They use 1 fifth to 1 third of the energy of a conventional light-bulb and last 6000 to 15000 hours compared to 750-1000.
