Best Answer

Trace amounts of halogens such as iodine and bromine are used in halogen lamps (bulbs) to prevent the evaporation of ionized metals from the filaments of the bulbs. A chemical reaction with the halogens returns vaporized metal (such as tungsten) back to the filament. The result is reduced darkening of the bulb interior and a longer bulb life at hotter filament temperatures.

Compounds containing bromine are mixed with non-reactive noble gases in quartz halogen bulbs.
