Incandescent light bulbs are considered to be lower efficiency than LED bulbs because a greater percentage of the energy output of the incandescent bulb goes toward heat.

In contrast, LED bulbs convert a higher percentage of energy into visible light and produce significantly less heat, making them more energy-efficient for the same light output.
