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.


Does the life of a light bulb depend on its wattage?

Yes, Of Course The lifetime depends on the wattage. The wattage is the amount of Power the light bulb uses, and the life time depends on the power. Thank you


How many watts does a 'dim bulb' produce?

The wattage on a bulb measures how much electricity it uses, not its output. What you need for output is lumens. How that is related to wattage depends on what sort of bulb it is. An old fashioned incandescent tungsten bulb converts only about five percent of the energy to light, so a 40 watt bulb gives 400 lumens whereas 'energy saving' cfl ones are much more efficient so you only need 9 watts for the same brightness. Led's and halogen bulbs are different again. All types of fitting come in a range of brightnesses. It also depends on what you consider 'dim'. I'd find an incandescent 60 watt bulb in my living room far too dim, and a 40 watt one useless. Other people are happy with 60 watts.

Can I get an LED light installed into my incandescent downlight cans?

Yes, absolutely. As long as the LED bulb and incandescent bulb have the same base they will both fit the socket. The LED bulb will also run much cooler than the original incandescent bulb.

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 is the equivalent incandescent wattage for a 6W LED bulb?

The equivalent incandescent wattage for a 6W LED bulb is approximately 40 watts.


What wattage is a par 38 bulb?

A typical PAR38 bulb can range from 10-120 watts, depending on the type of technology used (incandescent, LED, halogen). It is always important to check the specific wattage indicated on the packaging or label of the bulb before purchasing or installing it.


What is the equivalent of a 6W LED bulb in terms of traditional incandescent bulb wattage?

A 6W LED bulb is equivalent to a 40W traditional incandescent bulb in terms of brightness.


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.


Can you use halogen bulb in regular lamp?

Yes, you can use a halogen bulb in a regular lamp as long as the bulb wattage does not exceed the lamp's recommended wattage limit. Additionally, be careful when handling halogen bulbs as they can get very hot during operation.


What is the incandescent equivalent of a 40 Watt halogen bulb?

A halogen bulb IS ITSELF a type of incandescent illumination source. A 40 Watt traditional incandescent bulb usually emits about 400 to 500 lumens while a halogen may emit close to twice that. So a 25 W halogen might give out as much light as ah older style 40 W bulb.


Can you upgrade a 60watt halogen bulb to a 75watt halogen bulb for a shift3 entetainment projector?

It is not recommended to upgrade the bulb wattage in a projector as it may cause overheating and damage the internal components. Stick to the manufacturer's recommended wattage for the best performance and safety.


Can you use a 12v halogen bulb with a 6v AC adapter - wattage is the same?

No, you cannot use a 12v halogen bulb with a 6v AC adapter. The voltage of the bulb must match the voltage of the adapter for them to work properly. Using a higher voltage bulb with a lower voltage adapter can cause the bulb to burn out or potentially damage the adapter.


How many watts does a recessed light used?

The wattage rating of a recessed light is governed by the amount of heat it can dissipate. The wattage rating is set by a standards organization and has to be adhered to by the manufacturing company. The label that is on the recessed light fixture is the maximum size incandescent bulb that can be used in the fixture. Depending on the bulb size used in the fixture will reflect the amount of watts the recess light will use.
