What are Incandescent Light Bulbs?

Incandescent Light Bulbs are a timeless classic, loved for their warm, inviting glow and natural ambience. These traditional bulbs work by passing an electric current through a tungsten filament, heating it until it produces light. Simple in design yet highly reliable, incandescent bulbs have been a trusted lighting choice for decades, ideal for creating soft, cosy lighting in homes, restaurants, and hotels alike.
