They emit light and the use electricity. Apart from that, they have little in common, the way they work is completely different.
That depends on the type of lightbulb. There are at least three different technologies: 1) incandescent light bulb, 2) fluorescent light bulbs, 3) LEDs.

352 There are six different types of light bulbs invented as of December 27, 2012. They include the incandescent light bulb, the halogen light bulb, the fluorescent light bulb, the high-density discharge lamps, LEDs, and sodium lamps.
The filament in an incandescent light bulb is typically made of tungsten.
Incandescent light bulbs waste a lot of energy by producing heat along with light, whereas energy-saving bulbs, such as LEDs or CFLs, are more efficient at converting electricity into light. Therefore, incandescent bulbs require more electrical energy to produce the same amount of light as energy-saving bulbs.
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.
An incandescent light bulb, incandescent lamp or incandescent light globe is an electric light which produces light with a wire filament heated to a high temperature by an electric current passing through it, until it glows.
The average lifespan of an incandescent light bulb is around 1,000 to 2,000 hours.
Incandescent and halogen light bulbs use more energy than compact fluorescent lights and LED lights. Fluorescent lamps with magnetic ballasts use more energy than fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts.
Yes, light in an incandescent bulb is a form of electromagnetic radiation, not matter. The light is produced by the heating of a tungsten filament in the bulb, causing it to emit visible light.

A light bulb that uses a filament is also known as an incandescent light bulb.
