Normal tungsten filament bulbs are still used in many electrical devices and for lighting.Although they consume more energy they are still manufactured and used in many countries. However the new generation energy efficient LED lamps will replace them in another decade.

What else can I help you with?
What are the disadvantages of LED light bulbs?
Not as bright as normal light bulbs (higher watts though)
How much longer will it be legal to use incandescent light bulbs?
There are no current plans to outlaw incandescent bulbs in the USA.However it's likely they will be phased out at some future date.
What is it that normal light bulbs give off much more than fluorescent light bulbs?
Heat.
Why incandescent light bulbs was phase out?
Incandescent light bulbs were phased out due to their inefficiency in converting energy into light, resulting in wasted energy and higher electricity costs for consumers. Additionally, incandescent bulbs have a shorter lifespan and produce more heat, making them less environmentally friendly compared to newer lighting technologies such as LED and CFL bulbs.
Is the light bulb still used today?
Yes, light bulbs are still in use today, although there has been a shift towards more energy-efficient options like LED bulbs. Traditional incandescent light bulbs are being phased out in many places due to their lower efficiency and shorter lifespan.
How are xenon bulbs different from normal light bulbs?
Xenon bulbs are much brighter than regular light bulbs. They are more expensive that normal light bulbs. this is partly because of the cost of xenon gas, but also because of the heat generated by the bulb that requires them to be housed in quartz instead of glass.
Why are incandescent light bulbs being phased out in Australia?
Incandescent light bulbs are being phased out because they are inefficient, causing them to use more power to make the same amount of light. This is not restricted to Australia alone, but is indicative of worldwide action, following the example of Brazil and Venezuela who led the way in 2005. The European Union and Switzerland followed, along with Australia, and other countries such as Russia, Canada, Argentina and the USA will also be phasing out these light bulbs over the next few years. Several Asian nations are also following suit.
How many light bulbs does a normal size house use?
100
Are light bulbs really efficient?
Normal incandescent bulbs produce a lot of heat as well as light, so are not so efficient as low energy bulbs which can give the same light but consume much less electricity
What light bulbs provide the most natural light?
Any natural light bulbs that use incandescent lighting will work well, and give off a rounder light than the "sterile white" lighting of normal bulbs.
Does walmart carry tanning bed bulbs?
No, they sell individual tanning beds though. It is not legal for them to sell the light bulbs individually. They pose a health risk to those who use them as normal light bulbs.
Facts about the light bulb?
The first practical incandescent light bulb was invented by Thomas Edison in 1879. It works by passing an electric current through a thin tungsten filament, which heats up and produces light. Incandescent bulbs have been largely phased out in favor of more energy-efficient options like LED and CFL bulbs.
