Heat is literally inefficient by definition - it's spent energy which hasn't been converted to visible light.

And hotter light bulbs produce proportionally more visible light (higher luminous efficacy) than cooler ones.

An electric heater at 100C is an incandescent light source with 0% luminous efficacy :)
