An electric fire has a wattage of between 1 and 3 kw depending on the model - a light bulb can be anywhere between 40 and 120w.
So an electric fire is a lot hotter.
Another Answer
If, by 'hotter', are referring to temperature, then lamps operate at a far higher temperature than an electric fire (white hot vs red hot!). If, by hotter, you are referring to the amount of energy consumed, then electric fires win!
Of course. That's what an electric fire does, and a cigarette lighter, a toaster, a hair drier, an electric oven, a light bulb. All involve passing an electric current through a wire to make it hot.
When a light bulb receives more than 120 volts, it will likely generate more heat than it is designed to handle, causing it to burn out or potentially shatter. This can be a safety hazard as the excess voltage can lead to overheating and fire risk. It is important to always use the correct voltage for light bulbs to ensure proper functioning and safety.

A typical big light bulb, like an incandescent bulb, usually requires around 120 volts to operate. However, it's always best to check the specific voltage requirements listed on the bulb itself or its packaging to ensure safe and proper operation.
Before the invention of the light bulb, people used candles, oil lamps, gas lamps, and other forms of illumination to light up their surroundings. The light bulb revolutionized the way we illuminate our homes and cities by providing a more efficient and reliable source of light.
it helped by not having to light a fire.
An electric component that transforms electric energy into heat and light is an incandescent light bulb. When electricity flows through the bulb's filament, it heats up and produces both light and heat as a result of its resistance to the electrical current.
Examples are the tungsten element inside a light bulb, and the heating element bars of an electric fire.
Blue light is of a higher energy than red light. That means that the fire with the blue light is hotter, as the fire must generally be hotter to generate the blue light. For example, in a gas flame, the blue, which is hottest, is in the middle, and any yellow, orange or red is around the outside.
If an electric bulb is filled with oxygen gas, the filament inside the bulb would burn brighter and hotter than if it were filled with normal air. However, this can be dangerous as oxygen supports combustion and can increase the risk of a fire hazard if the filament overheats. It is not recommended to fill electric bulbs with pure oxygen gas.
Candles and other fire-powered lanterns that burned oil, kerosene, or otherwise.
Light from a electric bulb is generated when the negative & positive prongs inside generate a spark upon touching creating light.
Energy transformed by the means of energy transformation.
Of course. That's what an electric fire does, and a cigarette lighter, a toaster, a hair drier, an electric oven, a light bulb. All involve passing an electric current through a wire to make it hot.
Earlier forms of lighting, such as gas lights, were expensive, dangerous and gave less light than the electric light. Gas lights could not be used in places with a fire or explosion hazard.
