Every bulb has a code to it. MR16 is short for Multifaceted Reflector with a 16/8" (16 x 1/8) diameter.... or 2".

A standard incandescent bulb is an A19 (don't ask me what that code stands for... A is the shape, 19 is...??)

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.

How long do MR16 lamps burn for?

The answer to this question depends more on the type of MR16 you are using rather than the bulb's shape. The exception to this is whether or not you are using a low-voltage MR16 versus a line voltage MR16. Broadly speaking halogen bulbs, the most common type of MR16, last anywhere from 2,000 - 10,000hrs; LEDs last anywhere from 35,000 - 100,000hrs; and metal halides last anywhere from 15,000- 20,000 hrs. These are three most common bulb types for MR16s and determine how long the MR16 lasts.
