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!

Does blue fire mean it's the hottest or coldest or electric?

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.


WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE ELECTRIC BULB S FILLED WITH OXYGEN GAS?

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.


What was used before the electric light bulb?
