The correct explanation for why compact fluorescent bulbs can produce as much light as incandescent bulbs but with less energy is:
Incandescent bulbs produce other forms of energy, too, including heat.
Compact fluorescent bulbs are more energy-efficient because they convert a higher percentage of electrical energy into visible light, while much of the energy in incandescent bulbs is lost as heat.
