A typical light bulb wastes 90 percent of electricity. According to the EPD, the typical incandescent light bulb turns only about 10 percent of its electricity into light. A typical light bulb, when on, is hot. That's because 90 percent of the energy is wasted as heat, which means it isn't very energy-efficient. A typical light bulb wastes 90 percent of electricity.

Only about 10% of the electrical energy used to light an incandescent bulb is converted into light energy. The rest is mostly given off as heat.

In an incandescent light bulb, electrical energy is converted into heat energy due to resistance in the filament, and the heat energy is then transformed into light energy. Overall, the energy transformation process involves electrical energy being converted into both heat and light energy.
In a lamp, electrical energy is converted into heat due to resistance in the filament of an incandescent bulb, and into light due to the radiation emitted by the heated filament or by the excitation of gases in a fluorescent or LED bulb.

In a LED, electrical energy is converted directly into light energy, resulting in a decrease in electrical energy and an increase in light energy. This process is much more efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs, which waste energy as heat.

Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).
Electric energy is converted into light and heat energy in an incandescent lamp. The electric current passing through the filament of the lamp heats it up, causing it to emit light as well as heat.
Around 90% of the energy consumed by an incandescent light bulb is converted to thermal energy, with only around 10% converted to visible light. This inefficiency is one of the main reasons why incandescent bulbs have been largely replaced by more energy-efficient alternatives.
The energy present in a lighted lamp is primarily electrical energy, which is converted into light and heat energy. The electrical energy is used to power the lamp's filament, which emits light and produces heat when it becomes incandescent.
