Default low energy bulbs again - how low energy?

I'm curious. "Low energy" bulbs are very much in the news - but how
much extra energy is expended in their manufacture compared to a
standard incandescent? I assume it's more - so is there a real net
/overall/ saving over the bulb life? If so, how much?


Assuming that low energy bulbs are more efficient & give off less heat for a
given amount of light, would you not have to replace that heat in order to
maintain the same room temperature?
