Not all Energy saving bulb are the same but they typically use at least 2/3 less energy than standard incandescent bulbs to provide the same amount of light, and last up to 10 times longer.

First off the average energy saving bulb only uses 16 watts but still puts out like a 65W bulb. If you buy them in bulk they are fairly inexpensive and they last 5 years. Also most have a warranty so if it goes out in less than that time they will replace it free of charge.
