incandescents
Hot wire lights
Incandescents are light bulbs that produce illumination by heating a filament until it glows.
The term distinguishes them from fluorescents, LEDs, and other lighting technologies: The new regulations phased out incandescents in favor of more efficient alternatives.
The word can also refer to people or things that are incandescent—glowing with heat, light, or intense emotion.
