a class of lamp which generates light by passing a current through a filament of tungsten causing it to glow white hot, i.e. incandesce.

Incandescent light is generated by heating a thin filament wire in vaccum by an electric current passing through it.

Light produced by a flame, candle, campfire, or light bulb.

Light given off when a metal filament is heated to a high temperature by an electric current.

Artificial light source produced by an electric current passing through a wire inside a vacuum, heating the wire to high temperatures to produce light. Compare Fluorescent. Only five percent of the energy output of Incandescent lighting is light, while the remaining 95% of the energy output is heat.

glowing red or orange due to high temperature

emitting light as a result of being heated; "an incandescent bulb"

Lighting fixtures that use traditional light bulbs are called incandescent fixtures. Incandescent lighting is used for lamps, spot lighting and exterior lighting.

Standard bulbs, generally from 15-150 watts. These "screw-in" type bulbs provide a warm, yellowish light that offers a cozy soft glow to a room.

Incandescent light bulbs are perhaps the most commonly found bulb in your home. The incandescent bulb contains a filament, which glows to an incandescent level when electricity flows into the bulb.

A fairly inefficient type of lamp that uses a wire filament suspended in a vacuum or inert gas-filled bulb that give off heat and light when electricity flows thru the filament.

These lights use an electrically heated filament to produce light in a vacuum or inert gas-filled bulb.

Incandescent light is white, glowing, or luminous with intense heat.

A regular light bulb. Light is produced when a tungsten filament is heated by an electric current until it is hot enough to glow.

An incandescent material is so hot that it glows, producing light. Incandescent solids, liquids, and compressed gases produce a continuous spectrum; other gases produce a line or emission spectrum (only a few wavelengths are emitted).

Glowing with heat ( red or white hot) as in a light bulb which glows white hot, but produces a light that more closely simulates natural sunlight. Sunlight and incandescent lights bring out the natural colours in opal.

The most commonly used household bulb, which emits light through a wire filament.

Light source with a metal filament (tungsten) that glows white hot when current is passing through it.

1. Very bright, shining, gleaming, luminous. 2. Glowing with intense heat.

light bulbs waste 90% of their energy producing heat instead of light. Compact fluorescent light bulbs are far more energy efficient.

That which gives light or glows at a white heat.

Thermal generation of light, usually through radiant filaments in a bulb.

The common form of electric lamp; which unlike fluorescent or neon, generates light from a heated filament in a vacuum.
