Why do light bulbs use very fine filaments?

Incandescent light bulbs use tungsten( a metal which can withstand very high temperatures) as filament.When heated to a very high temperature, the filament glows emitting light and heat. Heating effect in filaments is caused by the property of resistance in conductors. On reducing the cross- section area( thickness) of the filament, its resistance is increased and hence the filament glows with comparitively lesser electric current.
