Incandescent lamps, like the sun, produce light by burning; the light they emit is a by-product of heat. Only a tiny percentage — 5 percent or less — of the energy used by an incandescent lamp produces light. The balance of the energy used produces heat, so incandescent lamps are supremely inefficient. But, like the sun, incandescent sources emit the visible wavelengths as a continuous band. Candlelight, firelight, and incandescent lamplight are sensed as familiar and comforting because they provide light in the same way the sun does. The apparent whiteness of the light given off by an incandescent lamp depends on the temperature at which it burns, called its color temperature.

(C) Incandescent lights burn energy in the same way the sun does.
(D) Incandescent lamplight, a fire, and candlelight produce virtually the same emotional response.
