halogen bulbs

Hot, bright lamps

Halogen bulbs are incandescent light bulbs that contain a halogen gas, which allows the filament to burn hotter and brighter while lasting longer than standard incandescent bulbs.

The gas recycles evaporated tungsten back onto the filament.

Halogen bulbs produce a crisp, white light and are used in car headlights, track lighting, and work lamps: The halogen bulbs in the garage give off intense heat.
