Produces light with a wire filament, which create light as it is heated by electric current.

Light is produced by a filament heated to a high temperature by electric current.

Electric lamp in which an electric current heats a filament until it emits light.

Generates visible light by heating a filament until it radiates. Incandescent lamps come in standard voltage and low voltage versions. They produce a significant amount of heat, are less energy efficient, and have a significantly shorter life than fluorescent lamps. Incandescent lamps are used liberally in retail and entertainment applications as well as commercial lobbies, conference areas, and theatres.

A lamp that produces light by directing electrical current through a metallic medium. The efficiency of lamps is stated as an efficacy rating (lumens/input wattage). For example, a 100-watt lamp that produces 1,740 lumens has an efficacy of 17.4 lumens per watt. The average incandescent lamp typically falls in the 10-25 lumens per watt range.

electric lamp consisting of a glass bulb containing a wire filament (usually tungsten) that emits light when heated

a electrical lamp in which a filament is heated by an electric current and emits visible light

a source of light that contains a solid, such as an electrically heated filament

A light source where voltage passes through a filament to create heat which, in turn, creates light.

From a switching perspective, the incandescent load represents an initial inrush current of up to 10 times the steady state rating.

Lamp in which an electric current is passed through a filament thus creating heat. The light is the glow produced.

The traditional type of light bulb that produces light through electricity causing a filament to glow. It is a very inefficient source of illumination.

A lamp producing visible radiant energy by electrical resistance heating of a filament. See A-lamp.

A lamp that emits light when an electric current passes through a resistant metallic wire situated in a vacuum tube.

A bulb that contains a conductive filament through which current flows. The current reacts with an inert gas inside the bulb, which makes the filament glow.

A lamp which creates light by heating up a thin filament, usually tungsten wire. Most standard household light bulbs as will as tungsten halogen lamps are incandescent. The color temperature of most incandescent lamps ranges from 1800. Kelvin to about 3800. Kelvin. See Also: Color Temperature Tungsten Halogen Lamp

A lamp employing an electrically charged metal filament that glows at white heat; typical light bulb

A light source using the principle of incandescence. When an electric current passes through a filament wire (usually tungsten), the heated wire glows. Filaments of standard incandescent lamps are enclosed in a vacuum or gas-filled bulb. They provide low initial cost, good color rendition and excellent optical control.

One in which a filament is heated to incandescence by an electric current. Incandescent lamps are the oldest form of electric lighting technology.

A lamp that contains a wire filament that produces light when heated by an electric current. See Compact fluorescent lamp.

An electric lamp in which a filament is heated by an electric current until it emits visible light.

lamp in which a current flowing through a thin wire (or filament) heats the filament to such a high temperature that it gives off light; incandescent lights are the most familiar type of light source--for example, typical "light bulbs" are incandescent lamps.

A lamp that produces light when electricity heats a tungsten metal filament.

A light source which generates light utilizing a thin filament wire (usually of tungsten) heated to white heat by an electric current passing through it.

A device using a filament, usually coiled tungsten wire, which is heated by a flow of current to produce light.

A device that produces light through an electrically heated filament.

Where the light is created by heating a Tungsten filament. The filament is contained in a glass bulb filled with an inert gas (nitrogen or rare gas) that prevents it from oxidizing, and then delays the vaporization of the filament material. Incandescent lamps are available in actually many forms; the most common are general service lamps with pear-shaped, clear and matt bulbs.

A light bulb which uses incandescence to produce light. (See below).

A glass enclosure in which light is produced when a tungsten filament is electrically heated so that it glows. Much of the energy is converted into heat; therefore, this class of lamp is a relatively inefficient source of light. Included in this category are the familiar screw-in light bulbs, as well as somewhat more efficient lamps, such as tungsten halogen lamps, reflector or r-lamps, parabolic aluminized reflector (PAR) lamps, and ellipsoidal reflector (ER) lamps.

An electric lamp or bulb containing a thin wire or filament of infusible conducting material.

A lamp in which light is produced by a filament heated to incandescence by an electric current
