2. Incandescent light bulb - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescent_light_bulb

   For example, a 100-watt, 120-volt lamp has a resistance of 144 ohms when lit, but the cold resistance is much lower (about 9.5 ohms). [76] [b] Since incandescent lamps are resistive loads, simple phase-control TRIAC dimmers can be used to control brightness. Electrical contacts may carry a "T" rating symbol indicating that they are designed to ...

   Other sizes with a data sheet in IEC 60064 are A50, A55, A67, A68, A71, A75, and A80. Another common A-series light bulb type is the A15 bulb which is commonly used in the US for appliances and ceiling fans. The A15 bulb is 15 ⁄ 8 in (1 + 7 ⁄ 8 in; 48 mm) wide at its widest point and 3.39 inches tall.

   If we are still thinking about the ratio of light to heat 25% is impossible. I believe 9% for (the best) halogen lamps is about right and the GE reference to "approximately 10 % is rather optimistic for ordinary domestic lamps. A 120V 100W at 17 l/w corresponds to a colour temperature of 2900K . A black body at this CT has 5% in the visible.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescent-lamp_formats

   In the United States and Canada, lamps are typically identified by a code such as FxxTyy, where F is for fluorescent, and the first number (xx) indicates either the power in watts for bi-pin lamps, length in inches for single-pin and high-output lamps, and for circular bulbs, the diameter of the circular bulb.

6. 3-way lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-way_lamp

   A 3-way lamp, also known as a tri-light, is a lamp that uses a 3-way light bulb to produce three levels of light in a low-medium-high configuration. A 3-way lamp requires a 3-way bulb and socket, and a 3-way switch. In 3-way incandescent light bulbs, each of the filaments operates at full voltage. Lamp bulbs with dual carbon filaments were ...

   The bulb is cared for by the Centennial Light Bulb Committee, a partnership of the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department, Livermore Heritage Guild, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories, and Sandia National Laboratories. The Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department plans to house and maintain the bulb for the rest of its life, regardless of length.
