What is another word for tungsten lamps?
Pronunciation: [tˈʌŋstən lˈamps] (IPA) 
Tungsten lamps are also commonly known as filament lamps or incandescent bulbs. They are the traditional source of lighting used in homes and commercial buildings. Other commonly used synonyms for tungsten lamps include halogen lamps and Edison bulbs. Halogen lamps contain a small amount of halogen gas, which allows the filament to burn brighter and longer. Edison bulbs are named after the inventor of the first commercially successful incandescent lamp, Thomas Edison. LED bulbs are also becoming popular as a more energy-efficient and long-lasting alternative to tungsten lamps. However, the warm, familiar glow of tungsten lamps continues to be a popular choice for many households.
