halogen light

Hot, bright lamp

A halogen light is a type of incandescent lamp that uses a tungsten filament enclosed in a small capsule filled with halogen gas, which allows the bulb to burn hotter and brighter while lasting longer than standard incandescent bulbs.

Halogen lights produce a crisp, white light and are commonly used in car headlights, track lighting, and work lamps.

The halogen light in the garage gives off a lot of heat.
