    If it takes less electricity to use it = less electricity purchased = less electricity do the electricity company have to produce = saves the nature.

        Isn't the power rating what matters in relation to energy use? 150W means that the light bulb uses 150 joules per second. How is that more energy efficient than a "normal" 60 watt (60 joule per second) bulb? Shouldn't an "energy-efficient" bulb consume less power, ie produce the same amount of light with 40W but with less heat output?
        A lot of the energy in to standard light bulbs is converted to heat. That is why they are so innefficient.

        I was slightly misleading in what I meant. Often they will be sold as their "equivalent" power rating. I.e. it will say "100W equivalent". What I meant was, go one up from what it is the equivalent of (So If you like a 100W normal bulb, get a 120W equivalent energy saver which is in reality about 30W)

            So a high-efficiency bulb rated at 120 watts produces the same brightness as a normal 120 watt bulb (or a 100 watt bulb?), but actually consumes 30 watts?

              Yes, as it doesn't give out stupid amounts of heat like normal lightbulbs.

                Ok so at the store today I found 100W equivalent lights that actually consume 23W. They were on sale for a box of 4, 10 for $10.00. Bascially, I got 40 of these energy saver bulbs for $10. Cool, don't think I'll have to change a bulb in my house for years.
