Is everything that lights up with electricity a lamb?

You may want to check your spelling here. You are probably referring to a lamp.

No, not everything that lights up with electricity is by a lamp (p and not b). You can bring things to glow up by letting electric current pass through them.

When an object is only slightly warm, the energy it radiates away is going to be almost entirely in the infrared spectrum. That’s why, for example, food coming out of an oven doesn’t glow, but you can certainly feel the energy radiating away from it.

As that object heats up either by electric current or heat, the energy that is being emitted from the object begins to peak higher in the spectrum. At a temperature of about 800 kelvin - 525C or 977F - that peak moves into the visible spectrum, so the object begins to visibly glow red.

I've never known a lamb to light up when electrified. Did you mean "lamp"? This is a lamp:

No, not even close.
