On the other hand, incandescent light bulbs contain a filament that is inefficient in the use of energy to produce light. According to the Wall Street Journal, “…most of today’s incandescent bulbs will be phased out (some specialty bulbs are exempt) by 2014 and replaced by more efficient alternatives.
