  What sorts of lamps have you in your school?

  Filament bulb
Filament lamps waste a lot of electrical energy as heat. They should only be used in places where lights are lit for short periods (e.g. store rooms)
Strip lamps
Strip lamps waste very little electrical energy as heat. They should be used in places where lights are lit for long periods (e.g. classrooms).
Compact fluorescent lamp
Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) waste very little electrical energy as heat. They should be used in places where lights are lit for long periods.
