tungsten light
Hot wire illumination
Tungsten light is artificial light produced by an incandescent bulb with a tungsten filament—the warm, yellowish glow of traditional household lighting before LEDs became dominant.
In photography and film, tungsten refers to this color temperature and the equipment calibrated for it: tungsten-balanced film, shooting under tungsten.
The term distinguishes indoor artificial light from daylight, which is cooler and bluer.
