   Incandescent lamp, Incandescent light, Incandescent
   light bulb (Elec.), a kind of lamp in which the light is
      produced by a thin filament of conducting material, now
      usually tungsten, but originally carbon, contained in a
      vacuum or an atmosphere of inert gas within a glass bulb,
      and heated to incandescence by an electric current. It was
      inventerd by Thomas Edison, and was once called the
      Edison lamp; -- called also incandescence lamp, and
      glowlamp. This is one of the two most common sources of
