An incandescent light uses electric current passing through a wire with a high resistance to current flow. That makes the wire very hot and it glows, producing the light. A fluorescent light uses electricity to charge a gas in a tube. The charged gas glows, producing the light. For the same amount of light, more electricity is needed in an incandescent light than in a fluorescent light, but developing and building fluorescent lights required more advanced technology than did incandescent lights.
Thomas Edison invented incandescent bulb
What is more efficient a tungsten light or an incandescent light?
An incandescent light bulb is your common household bulb. It is best identified by the presence of a filament (the thin piece of wire in the center of the glass bulb that glows when turned on.) The incandescent bulb's interior space is a vacuum (all the air is removed) so that the filament doesn't burn up. It produces a warm, slightly gold/yellow light. A "florescent" bulb, on the other hand, has no filament. It works by electrically exiting gas in a long tube creating a cool white light with almost the same color as the sun.

No, incandescent lights give off heat. LED do not.
An incandescent light bulb, incandescent lamp or incandescent light globe is an electric light which produces light with a wire filament heated to a high temperature by an electric current passing through it, until it glows.
