0 watts on both counts. However, as for “brightening” a room, tulips and glads do wonders.
You would save more “energy” by not sending questions like these to Yahoo Answers. It would save US a lot of energy in replying.

Tulip shaped bulbs come in various sizes. You can purchase these anywhere between 25 watts – 100 watts.
If you are trying to save energy, I highly recommend installing compact fluorescent bulbs. A compact fluorescent bulb has the same light output as an incandescent bulb but it uses considerably less energy.
Let’s say you install a 60 watt incandescent bulb. This uses 60 watts of power. However, if you install a comparable compact fluorescent bulb it will only use approximately 18 watts of power and provide the same amount of light.
I’ve seen 4 packs of compact fluorescent bulbs at Home Depot for $12.00, while an incandescent bulb is approximately $0.50. However, the compact fluorescent bulb is supposed to last 5 years.
Tulip shaped bulbs have 2 different base types, either candelabra or medium base. A medium base bulb is the same base as a standard incandescent bulb and the candelabra is very skinny. If you have the candelabra base, you probably can’t install a compact fluorescent as they are typically medium based.
