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.
