An energy saving light bulb is simply a fluorescent light-bulb in a small housing with a built in starter . The gas used for it will be the same as a standard strip-light which is a tube filled with low pressure mercuric oxide and an inert gas like Argon Neon or krypton.
Argon and nitrogen are the two main gases used in bulbs today.See related links below
Fluoresent light bulbs are run using electricity.. phosphorescentlight are not,, they have particles inside that absorb from light sources of any kind and store it away to be used , that's why they are not glowing all the time.
A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), also called compact fluorescent light, energy-saving light, and compact fluorescent tube, is a fluorescent lamp designed to replace an incandescent lamp; some types fit into light fixtures formerly used for incandescent lamps. The lamps use a tube which is curved or folded to fit into the space of an incandescent bulb, and a compact electronic ballast in the base of the lamp.
Light bulbs have always used watts.
Nitrogen
its used in fluorescent light bulbs and krypton-fluoride lasers
Compact fluorescent lights are smaller versions of traditional fluorescent light bulbs that are designed to fit into standard light fixtures. They are more energy-efficient and have a longer lifespan compared to incandescent bulbs. Fluorescent light globes typically refer to the larger, tube-shaped fluorescent bulbs that are commonly used in commercial and industrial settings.
Ordinary incandescent light bulbs are filled with an inert (electrically non-conducting) gas such as Nitrogen.Other types are filled with a gas containing low pressure mercury vapor and argon, xenon, neon or krypton.See the Related links for more information.

No, not in the filament. You are probably thinking of compact fluorescent light bulbs, which do contain mercury.
Mercury is used in fluorescent bulbs as it helps produce ultraviolet light when electricity passes through the bulb. This UV light excites phosphor coating inside the bulb, which then emits visible light. While the amount of mercury used in fluorescent bulbs is small, it is essential for their function and energy efficiency.
Argon
Mercury is the element found in fluorescent light bulbs. It is used in small amounts to help produce ultraviolet light, which then excites the phosphor coating inside the bulb to produce visible light.
There is no fluorescent light bulb that is better then any other. That is why they are suggested to be used since they have no different objects.
Neon and argon are used in lighting.
Quicksilver, also known as mercury, is used in fluorescent light bulbs. It is a key component in the vapor inside the bulb that emits ultraviolet light when electricity is passed through it, which in turn excites the phosphor coating on the inside of the bulb, leading to visible light production.
