There is no straight forward answer to this question. It depends upon which type of regulator you use:
Old regulators:
If you use the regulator, your doubt is correct.
Because working of this type of regulator generally depends upon resistance potential divider, which causes current (i) to flow through resistors R1, R2, R3 continuously and causing power loss.
This generates heat. You would have seen heat sinks in this type of regulator, to dissipate heat. This regulator is highly inefficient because precious electric energy is wasted in form of heat.
New regulators:
The advancement in power electronic technology, pushed the engineers to develop an alternative. Present day regulators use power electronic devices such as: Traiac.
Yes....!! power consumption is less when it is operated on level 1.
Hope this will be helpful to you...
