If I have a bathroom light fixture that holds 4-6 bulbs and I only use 2 energy efficient ones, will that save me energy?
Same with a ceiling fan light, if it hold 4 bulbs and I use 1-2 will that save me significant wattage?

Energy expert here. What you do is buy 8 bulbs, crush up 4 of them and sprinkle the mercury around. It attracts extra energy out of the air and makes the bulbs you plug in work more efficienter.

The best energy savings you can get would be only typing every other letter on the keyboard instead of all of them. It'll knock at least $32 dollars per month off your bill.

Yes, because they are wired in parallel. Each one sees the same constant voltage.

Well, you heat the oven to 350 degrees and bake it 34 minutes. 35 and it's too crispy. 33 and it's way too limp.

Mother******, I already told you and now you're wasting power again. Seriously, there's kids in Africa that could have used that power you just wasted to harvest blood diamonds. Way to promote kids in Africa.

You gotta follow along man. Typing more = using more electricity = children in Africa not working hard for diamonds because you used their electricity = price in diamonds = women costing us men more money.

the old light bulbs are like a metal fork, while the new ones are like a plastic fork.
Try sticking two metal forks in an outlet, then stick one metal and one plastic in an outlet and compare the results.

the savings you will get are minimal. a 100 watt light bulbs that burns 7 hours a day @ 9 cents/kilowat hour uses .06 cents of electricty a day. in your case times 10 is .60 cents a day. minimal difference.
I sell electrical supplies for a living if you need references.
edit to fix the total number of bulbs.

If you really want to save money in the long run, you want to buy more expensive bulbs.
They are making really cool ultra low wattage L.E.D. bulbs now that make the flourescents look like energy easters, and provide par or greater lumen output with ten times the life of a standard incandescant bulb.
The difference you pay in price for the bulbs, is less than what you will save over the course of the years of using indancescant bulbs.
And btw, you're not "saving wattage" you're drawing less amperage.

correct which in turn makes your meter spin less which makes the bill go down. Enegry bills are based off kilowatt hours. which is why I used them in my example.
