IC light heat is a by broduct of the filament heating up from the energy being given off. Anytime you have heat driven from electricity it is waste. CFL saves money on electricity because it's a more efficient technology and doesn't produce the heat by-product. Major drawback to cfl....every bulb contains mercury to light the bulb off so they are considered hazardous waste.
