light produced by heating a filament until it glows
Incandescent light refers to a type of lighting produced by an incandescent lamp or bulb, which generates light by heating a filament wire to a high temperature until it glows. This process involves passing an electric current through the filament, typically made of tungsten, enclosed in a glass bulb filled with an inert gas to prevent oxidation. While incandescent lights are known for their warm, natural light quality, they are less energy-efficient compared to modern lighting technologies like LEDs and fluorescent lamps.
