INTRODUCTION

 The halogen lamp is also known as a

quartz halogen and tungsten halogen
lamp
 It is an advanced form of incandescent
lamp.
 This bulb is stronger than standard glass
in order to contain the high pressure.
 Halogen Lamps are small,
lightweight
 Low cost to produce
 Does not use mercury like
CFLs(fluorescent) or mercury
vapor lights
 Better color temperature than
standard tungsten (2800-3400
Kelvin)
 Longer life than a conventional
incandescent
 Instant ON to full brightness, no
warm up time
 Dimmable
 Extremely hot
 The lamp is sensitive to oils left by
the human skin
 Explosion, the bulb is capable of
blowing and sending hot glass
shards outward.
 Not as efficient as HID lamps
(Metal Halide and HPS lamps)
 Lumens per watt: 10 - 35
 Lamp life: 1700 - 2500 hrs
 CRI 100 (best possible)
 Color Temperature: 2800 - 3400 K
 Warm up time: instant
 The halogen bulb comes in two
basic configurations: single and
double ended.
 The most common halogen lamps
are double ended, these generally
are the larger wattage lamps and
are used for work lights, yard lights
and film production lamps.
