Well, sweetheart, the only difference between "candescent" and "incandescent" is the letter "in" at the beginning. "Incandescent" refers to something emitting light as a result of being heated, like a good ol' light bulb. "Candescent" is just a fancy way of saying something is glowing or shining brightly. So, there you have it, two words with a slight twist in meaning.

What is the difference between incandescent and candescent?

Both are terms for the emission of light from an object due to heating, originating from the Latin word candere, which means "to shine".They are pretty much synonymous, but I think incandescence refers to an object becoming red-hot or white-hot, while candescence is more along the lines of light being given off from a fire.The answer in this link agrees with me.What_the_different_between_candescent_and_incandescent


What is the use of nitrogen gas in an in candescent bulb?

Nitrogen is preferred over air for the atmosphere around an incandescent light source because nitrogen is less likely than oxygen, the other major constituent of air, to react with whatever material, usually a metal, constitutes the light source. As a result, the "burning out" of the bulb is retarded and less frequent replacement is necessary. Some expensive incandescent bulbs in very critical uses are filled with argon, which is even less likely to react with the light source.


What are the manufacturing costs of fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs?

The costs of manufacturing costs of fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs are about the same aside from the slight different materials.


What is the difference between halogen and incandescent lighting?

Halogen lighting is more energy-efficient and produces a brighter, whiter light compared to incandescent lighting. Halogen bulbs also have a longer lifespan and are more expensive than incandescent bulbs.


What is the difference between halogen and incandescent bulbs?

Halogen light bulbs are what has been around for a very long time. Incandescent bulbs are new and are more energy efficient.


What is the percentage of light output between CFL bulbs and an incandescent bulb?

Incandescent: 10-12 lumens per watt CFL: 50 lumens per watt.


What are the differences between fluorescent and incandescent lighting?

Fluorescent lighting uses gas and phosphor coating to produce light, while incandescent lighting uses a filament that heats up to produce light. Fluorescent lights are more energy-efficient and last longer than incandescent lights, but incandescent lights have a warmer color temperature.


Energy saving lamp LED or CFL bulbs are being used in cars and even in heavy vehicles are they comparable with the old incandescent bulbs in terms of luminance?

LED, CFL and incandescent, when compared in terms of luminance, LED beats both of them. The range of difference between LED and incandescent are very big, whereas CFL comes in between them.


What are the differences between fluorescent light and incandescent light sources?

Fluorescent lights use gas and phosphor coating to produce light, while incandescent lights use a filament that heats up to produce light. Fluorescent lights are more energy-efficient and last longer than incandescent lights, but incandescent lights have a warmer color temperature.


Can LED Christmas light strings be connected to incandescent light strings?

It is not recommended to connect LED Christmas light strings to incandescent light strings because the different types of bulbs have different power requirements and could potentially overload the circuit or cause a fire hazard. It is best to use LED strings with LED strings and incandescent strings with incandescent strings.
