f todd baker said:Suppose I have two light bulbs, an LED and a halogen, but both have the same power P. Their radiation spectra are different, the LED radiating much less IR. Putting them in identical closets from which no heat may escape, will the walls and air in each come to some temperature T which, although increasing, will be the same for both?

Incandescent lightbulbs produce heat as a byproduct of light generation, while LED lightbulbs do not. This is because incandescent bulbs use a filament that heats up to produce light, while LEDs use semiconductors that convert electricity directly into light, resulting in little to no heat generated.
Yes, the heat generated by lightbulbs can contribute to the overall temperature of a room, especially if multiple bulbs are being used. Incandescent bulbs produce more heat than LED bulbs, so they may contribute more to the room's temperature.
Yes, incandescent bulbs can get very hot and potentially cause burns if touched. Additionally, if an incandescent bulb is used in a lamp or light fixture with a wattage that exceeds the maximum recommended, it can cause the fixture to overheat and potentially start a fire.
Yes, LED bulbs produce significantly less heat than incandescent bulbs. However, there are also variations within LED bulbs themselves, such as the difference between warm and cool white LEDs. Warm white LEDs tend to produce slightly more heat than cool white LEDs.
To minimize the heating effects of lightbulbs, you can switch to energy-efficient LED bulbs, which produce less heat. You can also opt for lower wattage bulbs or use natural lighting when possible. Additionally, keeping your light fixtures and lamps clean and dust-free can help prevent them from overheating.
