Answer:

Energy loss. When energy is transformed from one form to another, or moved from one place to another, or from one system to another there is some energy loss. This means that when energy is converted to a different form, some of the input energy is turned into a highly disordered form of energy, like heat.

Energy losses in lights are very large; most of the input energy is lost in the form of heat energy.
