Quite a bit, actually. The dense halogen gas that fills the envelope (glass bulb) of the halogen lamp allows the filament to transfer heat more rapidly than other gasses. The glass is a borosilicate glass that has a low coefficient of expansion and is typically very small in comparison to non-halogen bulbs of the same wattage.
The manufacturer will warn you to not touch the envelope with your fingers because the glass gets so hot that it will convert the grease from your fingers into carbon marks that will absorb heat and cause the glass to melt and blow out.

How does hydrogen differ from halogens?
A halogen bulb uses a filament that has electricity passed through it to create the light. The halogen name comes from the gas the filament is enclosed in to prevent it burning. 'Xenon' bulbs can refer to either bulbs with a filament enclosed in xenon gas, or to a HID (High Intensity Discharge) bulb. HID bulbs work in an entirely different fashion. The light is created by passing an arc of high voltage electricity through a blend of gasses (primarily xenon) and metal ions. The light produced is powerful and uses less energy than the equivalent halogen bulb, so they are becoming more common in cars and other applications.
Why should the filament of bulbs be thermally isolated?
Energy, in the form of electricity, causes the filament to heat up and give off light. Any energy which the filament loses by heating the bulb does not create light, and so is wasted. Thermal isolation minimizes the heat loss of the filament, and therefore reduces wasted energy.
Do volcanoes give off radiation?
Yes, at least heat and light.
What is a halogen used for in a halogen lamp?
Halogen light bulbs are used because:they can be operated at a higher temperature than can be used for ordinary light bulbs. This results in less heat production compared to light output and an overall much higher efficiency in the conversion of the energy which is input - electrical energy - to the energy which is output as visible light.andthey have a significantly longer useful life than ordinary incandescent light bulbs.Technical noteThe invention of halogen lamps was based on the discovery of a special physical feature: when small amounts of a halogen gas were added to the contents of the light bulb, these were found to help to return large quantities of evaporated tungsten atoms back to the filament. This resulted in a significantly longer lifetime of such lamps.General note about how all incandescent filament light bulbs operateAn electrical current travelling through the filament of a light bulb makes it glow white-hot and generate both light and heat because of the electrical resistance of the filament.The filament is normally mounted within a special mixture of noble and/or inert gases held inside the glass enclosure of the light bulb, held at a pressure which is close to a vacuum.The special mixture of gases prevents the filament from oxidizing and burning away, which would happen extremely quickly if it glowed white-hot in normal air which contains oxygen.
Warm objects give off?
Electromagnetic radiation, mostly in the form of infrared (which humans feels as heat).
How does a xenon bulb compare to halogen?
Xenon bulbs give off whiter light than Halogen bulbs, which give off a more yellow tint. Also, Halogen bulbs give off more heat than Xenon bulbs.
What are the advantages of switching to a halogen replacement lamp?
Replacing your traditional light bulbs with halogen bulbs may seem expensive in the short term, but with halogen bulbs, you will quickly recoup your financial outlay., Halogen lamps use less energy, put off less heat, and hardly ever - really! - need replacing. If a total overhaul of bulbs is overwhelming, try my method: any time a traditional bulb goes dead, I replace it with a halogen bulb. In a few years, my home will be total halogen-lit, and I will not be running out to the hardware store for bulbs any more!
What is it that normal light bulbs give off much more than fluorescent light bulbs?
Heat.
Do halogen bulbs lose power?
They sure do. Every time you turn them off.
How resistence important?
Resistance is important because it is what resists the flow of charge and can give off heat. Light bulbs use resistance to give off their light since the light is from the heat given off from resistance.
Which throws off more heat a halogen or incandescent flood light?
A halogen light emits more heat than an incandecent light.
How can the amount of electricity used in houses be reduced?
By turning off appliances like TVs and computers when they are not being used. Any appliances that produce heat should also be turned off as they use a lot of energy. Take out any incandescent bulbs or halogen bulbs and replace them with CFLs or LEDs.
How many lumens are in a 150 watt incandescent light bulb?
A 150 watt halogen bulb will give off somewhere around 2000 lumens. These lights may give off up to about 2400 lumens.
How efficient is a filament light bulb?
about 10% the filament light bulbs give off about 90% heat and 10% light
What light bulbs provide the most natural light?
Any natural light bulbs that use incandescent lighting will work well, and give off a rounder light than the "sterile white" lighting of normal bulbs.
