All types of electrical devices need electricity to make them operate.
Halogen headlamps must use halogen bulbs. "HID kits" are widely available, but they are (all) unsafe and illegal.
Halogen 9007
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!
They usually require less power, but you can get a very small bulb that will run less power. All in all though, halogen is the least efficient when it comes to heat, power, and amount of lumens (light) it projects.
No, they need oil
Doesn't need a lot of moisture inside a headlight to blow bulbs especially halogen type.
Halogen cookers can be found at any good kitchen appliance supplier. They will also most likely sell any parts you may need over their lifetime including replacement bulbs.
Yes, you should use a dimmer switch specifically designed for use with halogen lights, including MR16 fixtures. This ensures compatibility and helps prevent flickering or damage to the lights. Look for a dimmer switch that is labeled as suitable for use with halogen bulbs.
No, Xenon bulbs are not compatible with standard halogen fixtures. It is important to use the correct type of bulb designed for the specific fixture to ensure proper functionality and safety. If the Low voltage under shelf track lighting halogen kit is no longer made, it may be difficult to find exact replacement parts, and you may need to consider upgrading to a new lighting system.
There are three main types of headlight bulb: Filament HID LED Filament are traditional bulbs, using a metal filament surrounded by halogen or xenon gas. Standard bulbs are normal, but headlight bulbs of up to twice the brightness, such as Osram Night Breaker are also available. HID use an arc of electricity, and are on some high end cars. Available as an upgrade, you need to add a ballast unit and a new bulb, so not a direct replacement. LED is only just becoming mainstream. No upgrade path from standard bulbs, as they need carefully designed fittings and controls to make them bright enough for main headlights, although they are common in sidelights, tail, brake and indicator bulbs.
A double dimmer switch that can handle a total load of 480 watts would be suitable for 6 x 40 watt halogen bulbs. This means each dimmer switch should have a minimum rating of 240 watts to accommodate the 6 bulbs collectively.
HIDs give the brightest Light. They are factory standard on some high end vehicles, and it is possible to convert most others using an HID Conversion Kit Upgraded halogen bulbs give more light than standard headlights, and are direct replacements for the original halogen bulbs. Brands include Osram, Philips and Ring. Standard Halogen bulbs come in different options and if you do not want to install an HID kit, you may want to install some of the upgrade options available. See sources and related links below for more information. LED bulbs do not give of much light. A handful of cars are using them, but they need a lot of LEDs and a big headlight unit to work properly. It is not possible to upgrade a halogen bulb to LED at the moment - you just cannot get enough LEDs is the space.
