General knowledge

An ordinary bulb with a thin wire filament that glows when heated is called an incandescent bulb, and LED bulbs are replacing it because they use much less electricity.

पतले तार वाला साधारण बल्ब, जिसका filament गरम होकर चमकता है, incandescent bulb कहलाता है, और LED बल्ब इसकी जगह ले रहे हैं क्योंकि वे बहुत कम बिजली खर्च करते हैं।
