Best Answer

They were actually invented before Edison invented the incandescent light bulb by Nikola Tesla.

Edison did not care for them because they worked only on A.C. and his devices were all D.C.

The other issue with the High efficiency light bulbs were the need for hazardous chemicals inside them, This slowed down the implementation of the bulbs for years.

What is a halogen microwave?

There is no halogen microwave. There is a halogen microwave oven bulb. (The technical term for a "bulb" is a lamp.) Some microwave ovens use a halogen lamp to light up the oven cavity. Replacing them is similar to replacing a "regular" incandescent lamp, except that when halogen lamps are being replaced, it is critical not to touch the lamp with bare fingers. Leaving skin oils on a halogen lamp shortens the lamp life and can set up a dangerous situation where the lamp might overheat.
