Assuming you mean the type that was invented by Thomas Edison, it is the Incandescent Bulb. Light is given off by a coiled Tungsten filament that is heated by an electric current flowing through it.

The amount of light given off is rated in Lumens, but most generally the consumer relates it to "Wattage". The higher the wattage the more light given off.
