Incandescent lamps produce light by heating a wire filament until it becomes so hot that it glows. However, only a small fraction of the energy used in the bulb is turned into light, while the majority is converted to heat. This is why incandescent lamps are inefficient and generate a lot of heat. Fluorescent lamps, on the other hand, use less energy and produce less heat because they do not rely on heating a filament to create light.
