Why do halogen bulbs flicker on a dimmer?
Halogen bulbs flicker on a dimmer because dimmer switches are designed for use with incandescent bulbs, not halogen bulbs. The electrical properties of halogen bulbs, such as their lower resistance when dimmed, can cause flickering when used with dimmer switches not specifically designed for them. Upgrading to a dimmer switch that is compatible with halogen bulbs can help eliminate the flickering.
How much energy does a tungsten halogen bulb use?
Halogen bulbs come in various ratings, as do all bulbs.
Do halogen bulbs get hotter than incandescent bulbs?

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 benefits of using halogen bulbs?
"Halogen bulbs have a longer life and better illumination than incandescent bulbs. They are compact in size, and dimmable unlike flourescent bulbs. Halogen IR (infrared) bulbs use less electricity, also."
What is the difference between halogen and incandescent bulbs?
Halogen light bulbs are what has been around for a very long time. Incandescent bulbs are new and are more energy efficient.
Can you recycle xenon light bulbs?
Halogen light bulbs are a type of incandescent light bulbs and are filled with a halogen gas.

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 are the main differences between halogen and incandescent light bulbs in terms of energy efficiency and lifespan?
Halogen light bulbs are more energy-efficient and have a longer lifespan compared to incandescent light bulbs. Halogen bulbs use less energy to produce the same amount of light as incandescent bulbs, and they also last longer before needing to be replaced.
