Standard Incandescent – These are more than likely what’s found throughout your home today. They have already been completely phased out in Australia and a few other countries, and are slowly but surely on their way out the United States.

Since the wire heats up to as high as 5,000˚ Fahrenheit, the exterior glass can get as hot as 500˚ F. Their temperatures aren’t exactly safe when there are young children around, but with their low upfront costs, thousands of homes still use them today.
