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?

The people who have studied these things in detail say so and I
believe them. If you want to look at the figures try using a search
engine to study them.
