Incandescent light bulbs are officially banned in the U.S.::America’s ban on incandescent light bulbs, 16 years in the making, is finally a reality. Well, mostly.

Well 98% of the energy used by an incandescent bulb is given off as Infrared light that you would sense as heat.
Isn’t that a pretty flawed design flaw then. Why not use a heater as a heater rather than a light bulb ? Or like a heat lamp ?
Sometimes you will just introduce more safety issues if you try to overengineer things. In a lot of cases you have to assume that not everything that you want will be easily available and cheap, available and safe will beat some plastic thing ordered from ali express by Walmart.
A waste of only 2% is still a waste.
As far as I understand, energy is conserved. Light inside a closed box will ultimately turn to heat too.
