The old style (incandescent) light bulb converts more energy
into heat than it does into light. If you're using it mainly as a
source of light, then it's a bummer, and its efficiency is very low.
BUT ... if you're using an incandescent light bulb as a heater, then
its efficiency is much better. It all depends on your point of view.
During the winter, the Northern Hemisphere tilted away from the sun, receiving solar radiation at more of an angle. <u>This results in colder temperatures and more extreme temperature changes.</u>
