I have goldfish and they need a decent source of light in order to keep their scales from fading and it rains almost every day where I live. I have an aquarium with two light bulbs built into the top of it, but if they are on all day while I'm at work, the water over-heats. Once i had to stay later than normal and some of my fish died it got so warm(ideal for tropical fish temperatures). Know of any light bulbs that do not heat up so mush and that are available for fish tanks? -Stargazer
Heat bulbs would be a more appropriate name because incandescent bulbs transform 90% of electricity received into heat and 10% into light. New Compact Fluorescent light bulbs use only 20% to 30% of the energy needed to power a standard bulb for the same wattage.
sometimes.It depends on the other bulbs
It might be the energy saving bulbs.
R40 is a Red Heat Lamp Light Bulb BR40 is a Clear Heat Lamp Light Bulb
In a incandescent light bulb almost 90% of the energy taken in is being wasted as heat. only 10% is being used as visible light. this means that alot of energy taken in from ex sun,vind and water are not being used as it should have been. Thats why the LED bulbs are so good because they dont give out as much wasted energy
Heat.

Dont be a fish! Dont be a fish!
Its has exposive heat
False. Low heat light bulbs can produce the same amount of light, and also save on energy.
Depends on how the light bulb is used.

light bulbs are hot because the coils spread heat around the bulb.
Fluorescent bulbs generate light by using an ionized gas and electrical discharge, whereas regular light bulbs generate light by using heat within the filament contained in the bulb.
Most light bulbs waste energy as heat. Even LEDs. Large light bulbs require more power.
It might be the energy saving bulbs.
without light bulbs the modern world would be plunged into darkness. Light bulbs can not only produce light, but also heat, preventing the death of some pets, such as geckos, snakes, and lizards.
