   incandescent lamp, incandescent light, incandescent
   light bulb elec., a kind of lamp in which the light is
      produced by a thin filament of conducting material, now
      usually tungsten, but originally carbon, contained in a
      vacuum or an atmosphere of inert gas within a glass bulb,
      and heated to incandescence by an electric current. it was
      inventerd by thomas edison, and was once called the
      edison lamp; -- called also incandescence lamp, and
      glowlamp. this is one of the two most common sources of
      electric light, the other being the fluorescent light,
      fluorescent lamp or fluorescent bulb.

tungsten lamp \tung"sten lamp\
   an electric glow lamp having filaments of metallic tungsten,
   and contained in a glass bulb which is evacuated or has an
   inert gas, to avoid oxidation of the tungsten; a common form
   of light bulb. such lamps, owing to the refractory nature of
   the metal, may be maintained at a very high temperature and
   require an expenditure of only about 1.25 watts per candle
   power, depending on the total wattage and the design of the
   bulb. by mid-20th century tungsten lamps became the most
   common type of incandescent as contrasted with fluorescent
   lamp; thus the phrase

   incandescent lamp or

   incandescent light typically refers to a tungsten lamp.
