Incandescent Light Incandescent light refers to a type of artificial light source commonly used in indoor lighting fixtures, lamps, and household bulbs. It is produced by heating a tungsten filament wire to a high temperature until it glows and emits visible light. Incandescent light bulbs generate warm, yellowish light with a continuous spectrum that closely resembles natural sunlight.
While incandescent lighting has been widely used for decades, it is gradually being phased out in favor of more energy-efficient lighting technologies such as LED (Light Emitting Diode) and CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp) bulbs, which consume less electricity and have longer lifespans. Incandescent light is often characterized by its warm color temperature and relatively low Color Rendering Index (CRI), which may affect the color accuracy and appearance of photographs taken under such lighting conditions. |
