The typical lifespan of an incandescent light bulb is 2000 hours. This lifespan will be shortened by the increase of its off and on operations.
The average lifespan of an incandescent light bulb is around 1,000 to 2,000 hours.

A typical incandescent light bulb produces light by heating a filament wire until it glows. The glowing filament produces both visible light and heat.
The average lifespan of a LED light bulb is around 25,000 to 50,000 hours, which is significantly longer than traditional incandescent bulbs.

An incandescent bulb is less energy efficient than a fluorescent bulb because it produces more heat than light, wasting energy. Fluorescent bulbs are more energy efficient as they produce less heat and more light. Additionally, fluorescent bulbs have a longer lifespan than incandescent bulbs, lasting up to 10 times longer.
The filament in an incandescent light bulb is typically made of tungsten.
The two gases commonly used in incandescent light bulbs are argon and nitrogen. The gases help prevent the filament inside the bulb from oxidizing at high temperatures, prolonging the bulb's lifespan.
A regular incandescent bulb uses a lot more energy than a compact fluorescent to produce the same amount of light. Most energy used by an incandescent bulb is wasted as heat which does not give off visible light. Incandescent bulbs are cheaper to buy, but they have shorter lifetimes than other alternatives.
Yes, the inside of a light bulb is vaccum sealed to increase the lifespan and brightness of the bulb. If there was air in there, the filiment would burn up and not last very long. This was an important discovery made by Thomas Edison when he invented the light bulb.
An incandescent light bulb, incandescent lamp or incandescent light globe is an electric light which produces light with a wire filament heated to a high temperature by an electric current passing through it, until it glows.
The coating on the inside of an incandescent light bulb is typically made of tungsten or a tungsten compound. This coating helps to increase the lifespan of the bulb by preventing the tungsten filament from evaporating too quickly.
