Halogen lamps typically have the highest inrush current among the options mentioned. This is because they contain a tungsten filament that has a lower resistance when cold, causing a surge in current when first turned on. Neon, incandescent, and low-pressure sodium lamps have lower inrush currents compared to halogen lamps.

Can you put a dimmer switch on a combination of halogen and incandescent fixtures?
Halogen is a type of incandescent fixture so yes.
What is the brightest candelabra base incandescent bulb?
Halogen is about 20% brighter.
Can you mix incandescent bulb with halogen bulb in same light fitting?
Yes, the halogen bulb would provide about 30% more brightness (lumens) for the same electric power rating. So 70 watt halogen is about equal to 90-100 watt incandescent.
How can you tell if a halogen bulb is unused?
Halogen bulbs have filament like standard incandescent bulbs. When unused, the filament will appear silvery and clean. After use the filament may discolour.
Is a halogen lamp a type of incandescent lamp?
A halogen lamp is an incandescent lamp with a tungsten filament contained within an inert gas and a small amount of a halogen such as iodine or bromine.More detailsA special physical feature is exploited in halogen lamps: when small amounts of a halogen gas were added to the contents of a normal incandescent light bulb, these were found to help to return large quantities of evaporated tungsten atoms back to the filament.This treatment results in a significantly longer lifetime of such lamps.Additionally it has the benefit that halogen light bulbs 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 input (electrical energy) to the energy output as light.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.
What is the inrush current for halogen?
the answer ur looking for is incandescent
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 put a dimmer switch on a combination of halogen and incandescent fixtures?
Halogen is a type of incandescent fixture so yes.
What wattage halogen bulb will match a 100 watt incandescent?
Halogen bulbs are about 30% more efficient so a 70 watt halogen does the job.
What is the brightest candelabra base incandescent bulb?
Halogen is about 20% brighter.
Can you mix incandescent bulb with halogen bulb in same light fitting?
Yes, the halogen bulb would provide about 30% more brightness (lumens) for the same electric power rating. So 70 watt halogen is about equal to 90-100 watt incandescent.
What is lamp types?
There are two types of lamps the tungsten halogen lamps and incandescent lamps. Tungsten Halogen Lamps are similar to incandescent lamps and produce light in the same manner from a tungsten filament; however the bulb contains a halogen gas (bromine or iodine) which is active in controlling tungsten evaporation, whereas the incandescent lamp suppresses tungsten evaporation.
Can halogen bulbs be used as replacements for 65W incandescent bulbs when needed to summon help scents in an emergency flasher circuit?
The halogen bulb needs 30% less power for the same amount of light, so a 45 w halogen replaces a 65 w normal incandescent.
When electrical current flows through the metal filament of a light bulbelectrical energy is coverted to?
When electrical current flows through a lightbulb (whether it's CCFL, halogen, or incandescent), the trade-off is light and heat energy.
Which throws off more heat a halogen or incandescent flood light?
A halogen light emits more heat than an incandecent light.
What wattage in halogen bulb is equal to 300 watts in incandescent bulb?
Halogens are about 30% more efficient so 300 watts incandescent is equivalent to about 210 watts halogen. It's also equivalent in brightness to about 60 watts CFL.
What are some companies that sell shatterproof incandescent light bulbs?
I know that Sylvania produces a shatterproof HALOGEN bulb, there may be incandescent variants, and GE most likely sells a shatterproof incandescent bulb.
