Any Home Depot will accept burned out CFL bulbs for proper disposal and recycling. There's one in Tukwila, close to where you live.

What is the difference between the energy saving light bulb and the filament bulb?

Energy saving bulbs (typically LEDs) provide higher lumens per watt compared to filament lamps.


How do energy saving light bulbs reduce pollution?

Energy saving bulbs doesn't produce more heat compare to other bulbs. Therefore content of pollution is less by using the energy saving bulb. Even by using a vocca adapter to the normal bulb we can reduce the pollution. Vocca adapters are energy saving adapters. And also vocca adapter is a voice activated adapter.


What is the least efficient kind of light bulb?

It is the Incandescent light bulb. Most of the energy are lost as heat


Is a light bulb a mechanical energy?

No. It converts electrical energy into light and thermal energy only.


Which light bulb is best for cost saving?

Florescent light bulbs produce a similar amount of light with much less power than incandescent light bulbs. Their initial cost is paid back in energy savings. They also last a lot longer. I exchanged every light in my house for florescent bulbs years ago and I haven't changed more than 4 or 5 in all that time. LED bulbs are now on the market and are very expensive. But they use even less power to produce similar light and last many times longer than florescent bulbs. They are quite expensive, but what you get is an almost permanent bulb. In the future we will tell our grandchildren how we used to change light bulbs and they won't understand. I see a day when the bulbs become permanent parts of light fixtures and will not be replaceable in any typical sense.

Can energy saving light bulb charge a phone?

No. An energy saving light bulb is just a light bulb, and can't charge anything. The reason it's called an "energy saving" device is that it can give you the same amount of light while using less electrical energy than older bulbs used.


What does an energy saving light bulb do?

It uses less energy to produce the same amount of illumination as a standard light bulb

Why does an incandescent light bulb use more electrical energy than an energy saving bulb?

Incandescent light bulbs waste a lot of energy by producing heat along with light, whereas energy-saving bulbs, such as LEDs or CFLs, are more efficient at converting electricity into light. Therefore, incandescent bulbs require more electrical energy to produce the same amount of light as energy-saving bulbs.


What is the difference between the energy saving light bulb and the filament bulb?

Energy saving bulbs (typically LEDs) provide higher lumens per watt compared to filament lamps.


Can you use an energy saving light bulb in a fitting with dusk to dawn sensor?

Yes, you can use an energy saving light bulb in a fitting with a dusk to dawn sensor. Energy saving bulbs are compatible with most types of light fixtures, including those with sensors. Just make sure the bulb is suitable for outdoor use if the fitting is located outside.


Why does a non energy saving light bulb give off more heat than an energy saving light bulb?

Any of the wasted energy that is not converted to light will be converted to heat.Any of the wasted energy that is not converted to light will be converted to heat.Any of the wasted energy that is not converted to light will be converted to heat.Any of the wasted energy that is not converted to light will be converted to heat.


Is compact fluorescent light the best energy saving bulb?

No, the most energy efficient bulbs are LED (Light Emitting Diode) light bulbs.


What percentage of energy does an energy saving bulb save compared to an ordinary bulb?

It varies, depending on the specific model, but an energy-saving (fluorescent) light bulb should save at least half the energy, for the same luminosity, compared to the old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs. The incandescent light bulbs ought to be outlawed, except for specific purposes where the heat they generate is actually needed.
