Linked from

The 17 pages that link to Incandescent light bulb, each with the reason it gives.

• Thomas EdisonBroader topic: Edison’s lighting work improved the lamp and addressed the system needed to use it widely.

• Joule heatingBroader topic: Its filament becomes hot through resistance, with light emerging alongside heat.

• TungstenRelated: Tungsten wire became the standard filament because it tolerates extreme operating temperatures.

• Gas lightingCompared with: It replaced gas flames with an electrically heated light source.

• Luminous efficacyCompared with: Its substantial heat output illustrates why electrical-to-light efficacy can be low.

• Fluorescent lampCompared with: Fluorescent lamps emerged as a more efficient alternative to filament-based illumination.

• ArgonRelated: Argon in the bulb limits filament evaporation and extends filament life.

• CandleCompared with: It replaces open-flame combustion with electrically powered light.

• Neon lightingCompared with: Incandescent lamps produce light from a hot solid rather than an ionized gas.

• Solid-state lightingCompared with: It is the classic filament-based alternative to semiconductor lighting.

• White LEDCompared with: Its continuous thermal spectrum differs from the mixed emission spectrum of a white LED.

• Black bodyRelated: A hot filament approximates a black-body emitter, though its spectrum depends on material and temperature.

• Joule's first lawRelated: A large fraction of its electrical input becomes filament heat.

• Oil lampCompared with: It produces light electrically rather than through burning oil.

• FlashlightCompared with: Older flashlights used filaments, which consume more power and produce more heat than LEDs.

• Easy-Bake OvenRelated: Early Easy-Bake Ovens used its waste heat to bake small portions.

• Joule's laws (electrical heating)Broader topic: Its filament's high-temperature operation is a visible result of resistive heating.
