Bulb filament can reach temperature from 3410 degrees Celsius to 6300 degrees Celsius.
No it can't.
I think you're totally mistaken about how hot a filament can get. First of all, the temperature of a filament can't go above it's melting point. Secondly, I read that Tantulum Hafnium Carbide has the highest melting point of any known substance at 4215 degrees C.
Besides, bulbs have a tungsten filament which has a melting point of 3422 C. It's slightly possible that for some bulbs, they mix tungsten with something else to raise the melting point but since nothing has a higher melting point than Tantulum Hafnium Carbide, the filament can't possibly get hotter than 4215 C by being 6300 C.

When the filament in an incandescent lamp gets hot what kind off radiation does it give off?
the lamp gets hot
Why is a halogen lamp hot?
The halogen bulb produces a plasma arc on the inside of its quartz filament. Plasma glows at thousands of degrees. That's why they are hot.
What part of a light bulb gives off electricity?
The part of an incandescent light bulb that gets hot and produces the light is called the filament.
How does the electric lamp function using electricity?
You plug it in and it lights up. Current flowing in the filament makes it white hot, and it emits light.
Why wouldn't the lamp turn on?
Usual condition, no power source or lamp filament open.
What type of light build glows when a filament inside it gets hot?
Electric lamps having incandescent filaments.

What part of the lamp converts electricity to light?
For a filament-type (incandescent) lamp, it's the filament.

Why does a filament lamp get hot when you use high voltage?
because there is a correlation between resistance and voltage and current. The equation resistance = voltage divided by current shows that the higher the voltage, the bigger the resistance,, and the bigger the resistance the hotter the filament lamp will get because of the electrons bumping into each other which means there is a loss of energy and that energy is being transferred to the filament making the actual filament bulb hot since there is more thermal energy wasted at the end.

Why do lamp filaments age?
The high temperature causes a small amount of the metal in the filament to evaporate away. Over some time, the filament will develop a "hot spot" where it is thinner than the rest of the filament, which causes more rapid degradation and the filement will "blow".

Does a lamp with a thick filament draw more current or less current than a lamp with a thin filament?
A lamp with a thick filament will draw more current. What restricts the current flow in the filament is the resistance of the filament which increases as the temperature of the filament increases. A thin filament requires less energy to get heated up that a thick one so less current to achieve threshold resistance. Also a thick filament provides a broader path for current so there is less resistance per increase in degree centigrade. For these two (closely related but distinct) reasons it will require more current for the filament to get heated up to threshold resistance.
Which is more powerful a torch bulb or a mains filament lamp?
Mains filament
Why wouldn't the lamp turn on?
Usual condition, no power source or lamp filament open.
