What you have to consider with these bulbs is there disgusting level of dark cloudy lighting. Anyone who willingly puts these bulbs in must have a screw loose
Give me bright sparkly halogens any day.

In addition to using less energy to make the same amount of light, as other posters have mentioned, energy-saving light bulbs also last for several times the life of old-fashioned incandescent bulbs. This means you have to change it less frequently, which means a saving in the energy and materials needed to manufacture/package/transport the bulb.

An energy saving light bulb produces less heat. A regular incandescent bulb produces light by creating a high temperature.

They don't save it but they use less so the is a saving, but for the moment they are very expensive and I ask do they need a lot more energy to produce, so the answer to your question could be that all things considered they are a waste of time and ENERGY

They use less watts to produce the same amount of light. For example a 25 watt bulb can be replaced by a bulb that uses 4 watts and produce the same amount of light

They use less electrical energy to provide an equivalent light output.
A 40 watt incandescent bulb can be replaced by an 11 watt low energy type.
Same light, less energy, so energy saved. (You have to switch it on to save though).

They produce less heat. However if an old type bulb is in the house the heat is not waisted anyway as it helps heat the house
