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.

In other words, all incandescent light sources are candescent, but not all candescent light sources are incandescent.
