It depends on what type of light bulb they are. If they are an ordinary household light bulb... then no. If they are CFLs ... then yes.

What are they? Energy saving bulbs?

Energy savers usually have a wattage stated on the box and what it's equal to in conventional light bulb wattage, 20w energy saving bulb is equal to 100w regular light bulb.
