Incandescent light bulbs are the most common type of light bulb in the average home. Chances are, if you look up, you'll see one. They're used for just about everything. N.B.: The light bulbs that look like long tube are fluorescent, not incandescent.
Incandescent bulbs use 75-100 watts. Fluorescent bulbs use around 10 watts. LED bulbs usually use 1 watt.
The type of metal that is used in domestic light bulbs is known as tungsten. This is the metal that is usually found in incandescent light bulbs.
The type of light bulbs that waste the most energy are incandescent bulbs. They are least efficient because around 90% of the energy is lost on heat. They are also the shortest-lived light bulbs. The most efficient lights are LED lights, followed by CFLs, followed by the new Halogen incandescent bulbs. See the related link below for more information.
Yes. Part of the energy is converted to light, part to heat. The percentage depends on the type of light bulb. Fluorescent and LED light bulbs are more efficient than incandescent light bulbs. A 60-watt incandescent bulb will be uncomfortable to remove from the socket with your bare hands after turning it off. However, a 100-watt bulb will burn you if you remove it with your bare hands after turning it off.
Yes, they provide as much light as the incandescent bulbs, thought some may vary according to their own type. But there's no other way that incandescent bulb can be compared to LEDs, because LEDs are way better than the old traditional bulbs.
Most people light their home using incandescent light bulbs. While these bulbs may seem less expensive, they can add quite a bit of money to your electricity bill. To lower your electricity bill, swap your incandescent bulbs for compact fluorescent lamps, or CPL's. CPL's are a type of bulb that uses 75% less electricity than incandescent light bulbs. Just by switching the type of light bulb you use, you can quickly lower your electricity bill. These bulbs also last much longer than regular bulbs. Most CPL's last around ten years, which means that you will enjoy a lower electricity bill, while never having to change a bulb.
That varies a lot, depending on the type of light bulb. The old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs produce much less light, for the same power, than the fluorescent light bulbs.That varies a lot, depending on the type of light bulb.

No light bulbs actually save energy, they use it to produce light. However energy efficient bulbs use less energy than the ordinary incandescent type. To my mind describing them as energy saving is wrong, they should be described as "lower energy" bulbs.
That depends on the type of lightbulb. There are at least three different technologies: 1) incandescent light bulb, 2) fluorescent light bulbs, 3) LEDs.
A Growlight is a special type of light bulb that is used in horticulture. it tries to mimic the light spectrum produced by the sun - as normal light bulbs (incandescent and fluorescent) do not provide the correct spectrum of light required for healthy plant growth
Depends on what type and quality of light bulbs.
