Incandescent bulbs

Incandescent bulbs are traditional light sources that produce light by heating a thin wire filament, usually made of tungsten, until it glows. When electricity passes through the filament, it generates heat and emits visible light. These bulbs are known for their warm, soft glow but are not very energy-efficient, as most of the energy is lost as heat rather than light. They typically have a shorter lifespan compared to newer technologies like LED or CFL bulbs. While they are being phased out in many regions for more efficient options, they are still appreciated for their color quality and immediate brightness.
