I would compare lamps of the same wattage to see which one puts out more lumens, which is the measurement of actual light output.

What type of energy do more efficient light bulb produce?
A greater percentage of light, and a smaller percentage of infrared radiation and heat.
Most of the energy of an incandescent bulb is given off as?
Heat
What is the ionization energy of mercury?
Mercury's ionization energy is 24.10
How is fluorescent light good for the environment?
While fluorescent lamps may lower your electricity bill, they're not really 'good for the environment', as they require more energy and resources to manufacture compared with incandescent lamps, and they contain mercury.
Can mercury wet a substance?
Mercury is a metal unlike water which have hydrogen bonding. Mercury does not wet most substances, because of its high cohesion and low adhesion to the glass mercury will not wet glass. Cohesion, along with adhesion(attraction between unlike molecules), can help explain mercury phenomena. Mercury has a surface energy over 6 times greater than that of water so there is a much greater attractive force between the atoms of mercury than between the molecules of water, so mercury does not wet glass.
What percentage of energy is converted into useful energy?
It depends on the efficiency of the machine. No machine is perfect and there are always losses and waste. Usually the losses are a greater percentage than the useful energy.
What is the energy pathway for an incandescent?
hh
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.
Does an incandescent bulb and a light stick use the same form of energy to create light?
No. The incandescent bulb uses electrical energy and the light stick uses chemical energy.
What type of energy do more efficient light bulb produce?
A greater percentage of light, and a smaller percentage of infrared radiation and heat.
What substance has greater average kinetic energy at 10 degree celsius?
Greater than what? Compared to what? This question cannot be answered as currently posed.
Why do mammals and birds lose a greater percentage of the energy intake to the environment as heat?
warm blooded
What type of energy besides light energy is produced by incandescent lights?
