Is it OK to switch energy saving lightbulbs on and off?
Recently, I was talking to some colleagues about the fact that I really dislike the light in my hallway being on because it makes a buzzing sound. Someone asked me which bulbs were being used so we got talking about energy saving bulbs. Another person then explained that a lot of energy is used to simply turn ‘energy saving light bulbs’ on! Thus for me to turn it on and off results in the opposite of saving energy! He explained that tube lights operate on the same basis.
Is this true or not?
