There are other forms of artificial light devices that consume much less power, and generate less heat, such as Halogen, LED, and so forth.
What are the adwantages and disadvantages of using incandescent light?

Why should people change away from using incandescent light bulbs?
Incandescent light bulbs not only produce more heat, but use far more power than LEDs, and last a much shorter lifetime.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Except for low wattage incandescents they are no longer being manufactured, so when current stocks run out you will haveto change to either CFL or LED lightbulbs.
Between fluorescent and incandescent which saves electricity?
Fluorescent lamps deliver more visible light than incandescent lamps using electric power at the same rate. (But incandescent lamps deliver more heat. Just depends on what purpose you're using light bulbs for.)
What is one benefit of using a fluorescent light source?
Consumes less energy that the equivalent incandescent light source.
Are Incandescent bulbs going to be outlawed?
There is nothing that states incandescent light bulbs will one day be illegal or outlawed. Using them is an individuals option and right.
Why do incandescent light bulbs waste a lot of energy?
Any form of electrical lighting will produce both light and heat, and with inefficient, incandescent lighting you get a higher proportion of heat rather than light, as compared to other forms of lighting such as fluorescent, or the most efficient, which is LED, which turns almost all of the electric power that it consumes into light, and very little into heat.
Change the Light Bulbs!?
Still using incandescent light bulbs? If so, you're wasting electricity and your electric bill will no doubt show it. Fluorescent lighting is far from new, but the way the bulbs are shaped, is. There was a time when you couldn't buy a fluorescent light bulb to fit many existing lamps and fixtures. Someone must have heard us complain, because now you can find fluorescent bulbs in almost any shape and size. A simple and effective way to watch your electric bill go down measurably is to simply change light bulbs from incandescent to fluorescent.
What did swan invent in 1883?
Sir Joseph Wilson Swan is credited with inventing the first practical incandescent light bulb. His was the first house to be lit using such a light bulb.
Which material which produce light operate with heat?
Incandescent light bulbs are made using a tungsten filament, they are heated to a temperature of over 2500 degrees celcius, or 4500 degrees fahrenheit.
Shouldn't a lamp always be able safely to accept up to a 40W compact fluorescent light bulb if it is rated to accept a 40W incandescent light bulb--barring any physical size contraints?
Yes, your assumption is correct. Lamp fixtures are rated on how well they dissipate the heat given off from an incandescent light bulb. As CFL lamps run much cooler there is no problem using them in the same rated fixture that is incandescent rated.
How could the incandescent light bulb be better?
When grading or inspecting coins, stamps, antiques, jewelry, etc. a point source is required, meaning you need an incandescent or tensor light. Beware buying such things at a store using fluorescent light and getting buyers remorse at home when using proper light reveals deficiencies not seen before. This has happened to me several times until I realized what was happening. Now at the point of sale I insist on the proper lighting or take my own.
