The regular bulbs that we are all familiar with, and their main advantage is the pleasant color of the light they emit. The colors of objects tend to look more accurate under this type of bulb. Incandescent bulbs waste a lot of electricity because they also produce a lot of heat.
Incandescent lamps produce 8-12 lumens of light per 1 watt of consumed energy. The more powerful the incandescent lamp, the more lumens of light it produces per unit of consumed power. For example, one 100 watt lamp produces almost exactly the same amount of light (1360 lumens) as two 60 watt lamps (1420 lumens).
The disadvantage of these bulbs is that they are inefficient by dentist data standards and have a relatively short lifespan (around 1000 hours). Incandescent bulbs are available in a variety of shapes and sizes and have a variety of different bases.
The basic principle for choosing between frosted and transparent lamps is as follows:
If the lamp has clear shades, use clear bulbs.
If the lamp has frosted shades, use frosted bulbs.
