Best Answer

An incandescent bulb can easily produce enough heat to start a fire on a flammable garment that is draped across a table lamp. This is sometimes done on purpose to dry a garment. Sometimes the garment just lands in the right place when you are in a hurry to undress and you just toss them anywhere. The point is incandescent bulbs get pretty hot.

Clothes placed on a lamp can catch fire if they come into direct contact with the hot bulb or other hot parts of the lamp. The heat from the lamp can easily ignite the fabric of the clothes, leading to a fire. It is important to keep flammable materials away from heat sources to prevent accidents.
