A greater amount of energy is required for the same light output from the LED bulb.
A greater amount of energy is required for the same light output from the LED bulb.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

A greater percentage of the energy output of the incandescent bulb goes toward heat.

Incandescent bulbs convert much of the electrical energy they consume into heat rather than light, making them less efficient compared to LED bulbs, which produce more light per unit of energy consumed and waste less energy as heat.
