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.**
Incandescent bulbs convert a significant portion of the energy they consume into heat rather than light, whereas LED bulbs convert a higher percentage of their energy into visible light, making them more efficient.
**A greater percentage of the energy output of the incandescent bulb goes toward heat.**
