    The 100W bulb produces more heat than the CFL bulb because it draws more electric current. Heat produced is directly proportional to the square of the current. More current means more heat is generated. Additionally, the 100W bulb likely has a higher resistance than the CFL bulb, and heat produced is directly proportional to the resistance of the conductor when current is held constant.
