I live in Canada. Every BTU an incandescent lightbulb gives off in times when you use space heaters in your living spaces is a BTU not spent by your space heaters, in other words: The heat given off by incandescent lightbulbs is heat that is saved, not spent, by space heaters, meaning incandescent lightbulbs are 100% efficient in the winter.
One reason why I like my LEDs. It's hot enough where I live, I don't need space heaters running all over the house in the form of light bulbs that I will need to use the AC even more to compensate. But yes, I can see how beneficial they are in colder places.
That is not the point. What I stated is that there is no waste in the electricity used by an incandescent light bulb when one needs to provide heat to living spaces: 95% heat, 5% light.
But your point is pointless. That "95% heat" is not the whole story. You have omitted the fact that that 95% heat was produced damn inefficiently, basically wasting money - to make a point.
You make no sense. 95% of the electricity used by an incandescent light bulb is given of as heat, 5% as light. That is the whole story. Where is this damned inefficiency you are arguing about?

I have a small room and the lights and Crypto mining heat that. Then crypto rigs heat the basement in winter. 100% efficiency.
Now that's a galaxy brained idea; Mining bitcoin to heat the house in the winter
Meh, a gas heater is a way more efficient source of heat than a light bulb is.

Less risk of fire especially when you're heating a little greenhouse in the winter... Or a chicken coop
