	Incandescent light bulb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The incandescent light bulb (archaically known as the electric lamp) uses a glowing wire filament heated to white-hot by electrical resistance, to generate light (a process known as thermal radiation or incandescence).
		The spectrum of an incandescent bulb in a typical modern flashlight immediately reveals the mechanism of incandescent lighting to be flbody radiation.
		An incandescent light bulb (about 2.1% efficiency) is about one quarter as efficient as a fluorescent lamp (about 8.2% efficiency), and produces about six times as much heat with the same amounts of light from both sources.

		The incandescent light bulb uses a glowing wire filament heated to white-hot by electrical resistance, to generate light (a process known as thermal radiation).
		The incandescent light bulb is still widely used in domestic applications, and is the basis of most portable lighting (for instance, some car headlamps and electric torches).
		Self-ballasted Compact fluorescent light bulbs screw directly in to standard sockets, allowing a 23 watt bulb to replace a 100 watt incandescent, while still giving about 10 watts as light, and only 13 (versus 90) as heat.

		This is one reason why fluorescent lighting is so popular in commercial spaces, as it also reduces the need for (A system that keeps air cool and dry) air conditioning in the (The warmest season of the year; in the northern hemisphere it extends from the summer solstice to the autumnal equinox) summer.
		Quality halogen incandescents are closer to 15% efficiency, which, although still extremely low, will allow a 60 watt bulb to provide nearly as much light as (and a 75 watt to provide even more than) a non-halogen 100 watt.

	Apparatus and method for retrofitting incandescent lighting fixtures - Patent 5550723
		The method involves the removal of existing incandescent lighting units from first and second adjacent existing lighting fixtures, the mounting of a ballast assembly on the first existing fixture, and the installation of a first fluorescent lighting unit, powered by the ballast assembly, in the first fixture.
		The method includes the steps of removing an existing incandescent lighting unit from each of a plurality of existing lighting fixtures, mounting a ballast assembly on one of the plurality of adjacent lighting fixtures, and subsequently installing a fluorescent lighting unit, powered by the ballast assembly, in each of the plurality of adjacent lighting fixtures.
		Thereafter, fluorescent lighting units 12 and 14 are connected to fluorescent reflector housings 34 and 44 respectively, and the reflector housings are then mounted in fixtures 16 and 18 utilizing the existing spring clips 36.

	Incandescent Lighting
		Incandescent lamps produce light when an electric current passes through their metal filaments heating it to the point it glows.
		During the winter, incandescent lighting is an expensive form of electric heat.
		This is because much of the R lamp's light is trapped in the fixture and converted to heat.

	Incandescent Lighting
		Incandescent lights have been very popular with smaller type aquariums, mainly because many different types of incandescent bulbs will fit into a small aquarium hood, which is another reason this is a popular form of lighting.
		Some downfalls though, with this type of lighting is that the spectrum of the bulb is not consistent, bulb life is short, and they are inefficient at high lumen output in deeper aquaria.
		Because of the heat produced by this bulb, as with metal halide lighting, proper circulation and/or ventilation is desirable.

		Light colored interiors and open floor plans are good for both natural lighting as well as artificial light efficiency.
		Because the amount of light decreases as you move away from a window, light colored walls and ceilings reflect light in a diffuse manner and aid the effectiveness of the natural light.
		Often cove lighting is provided by low wattage fluorescent lamps or low voltage lights hidden behind a decorative valance in the upper third of the wall.

		Incandescent bulbs are inexpensive to buy, but they have a short life (only a few hundred hours) and use a lot of electricity.
