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 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.
