Incandescent light bulbs are considered to be lower efficiency than LED bulbs primarily 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, making them less efficient compared to LEDs, which convert a higher percentage of energy into visible light.
**A greater percentage of the energy output of the incandescent bulb goes toward heat.**
