filament lamp is a common type of light bulb. It contains a thin coil of wire called the filament. This heats up when an electric current passes through it, and produces light as a result.
The resistance of a lamp increases as the temperature of its filament increases. The current flowing through a filament lamp is not directly proportional to the voltage across it.

Here is the answer.
Resistance of the filament and brightness is directly proportional. As the resistance increases more of the energy will be emitted as heat and light ,thus the brightness increases.
Hope it helps. :)
