Does a incandenscent light bulb produce more heat than a fluorescent bulb?

Yes, an incandescent light bulb produces more heat than a fluorescent bulb. Incandescent bulbs convert a significant portion of the energy they consume into heat, typically around 90%, while only about 10% is used for light production. In contrast, fluorescent bulbs are more energy-efficient, converting a larger portion of their energy into visible light and generating less heat as a result. This efficiency makes fluorescent bulbs cooler to the touch compared to incandescent bulbs.
