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.

What light bulb types uses the least energy and therefore results in fewer greenhouse gas emissions?

Halogen+++No longer. LED-based fluorescent lamps use a lot less electricity than halogens for similar light levels - much of the energy emitted by a halogen lamp is heat, although it is more efficient than the equivalent argon-filled incandescent lamp. (A halogen bulb is still an incandescent type - it simply uses a different gas filling from the conventional bulb.)


What is the lumen's for a 500w halogen light?

Wikpedia says that halogen lamps produce about 19-20 lumens/watt. If you have a 500W lamp then you get 9500-10000 lumens.


What is lumen output for a 250w halogen?

Halogen lamps run hotter than conventional incandescents, and as a result of their hotter filaments, emit a whiter light with more of the light in the visible range, and less in the infrared. A typical 50W halogen emits between 800 and 950 lumens.


How does hydrogen differ from halogens?

A halogen bulb uses a filament that has electricity passed through it to create the light. The halogen name comes from the gas the filament is enclosed in to prevent it burning. 'Xenon' bulbs can refer to either bulbs with a filament enclosed in xenon gas, or to a HID (High Intensity Discharge) bulb. HID bulbs work in an entirely different fashion. The light is created by passing an arc of high voltage electricity through a blend of gasses (primarily xenon) and metal ions. The light produced is powerful and uses less energy than the equivalent halogen bulb, so they are becoming more common in cars and other applications.


What is a halogen used for in a halogen lamp?

Halogen light bulbs are used because:they 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 which is input - electrical energy - to the energy which is output as visible light.andthey have a significantly longer useful life than ordinary incandescent light bulbs.Technical noteThe invention of halogen lamps was based on the discovery of a special physical feature: when small amounts of a halogen gas were added to the contents of the light bulb, these were found to help to return large quantities of evaporated tungsten atoms back to the filament. This resulted in a significantly longer lifetime of such lamps.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 wattage halogen bulb will match a 100 watt incandescent?

Halogen bulbs are about 30% more efficient so a 70 watt halogen does the job.


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.
