Are you touching the bulb with your fingers? Oil in the skin causes hot spot on the bulb and causes them to burn out.
A halogen bulb works equally well with AC or DC.
Tungsten filament Quartz glass (needed because they are much hotter than ordinary bulds) halogen gas to fill build (chlorine, fluorine, etc) or Xenon in newer types still caused halogen but they aren't really. bright white light because filament can get hotter in halogen atmosphere than normal filament (also tungsten) can in normal bulb atmosphere (normally nitrogen)
Fluorine is the strongest oxidising agent.
It varies from about 600 to 1100 lumens. Typically the higher the lumens output, the shorter the lifespan of the globe. Have a look at this list of globes for purchase whih shows wattage and lumens: http://1000bulbs.com/category/75-watt-incandescent-standard-shape-light-bulbs/
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.In contrast, a fluorescent lamp produces more of its output as light instead of heat. Therefore a 13W compact fluorescent light emits the same number of lumens, while an 11-13W LED lamp emits the same 800 lumens (though this is rapidly improving)
No, it will not be. You will need at least a 50 watt halogen for outdoor lighting.
One can find more information about halogen lighting on the 'HowStuffWorks' website where there are details on how it is used. One can also find information on 'Wikipedia' and 'wikiHow'.
The halogen Group is a series of non metal elements.
They use xenon gas bulbs. These are a form of halogen lighting.
You can use incandescent, fluorescent or halogen lighting fixtures meant for indoor use inside a home. For example, you can purchase incandescent wall lights that are connected to a dimmer switch with incandescent lamping. Fluorescent lights might be in models of ceiling lights, chandeliers and pendant lights. Fluorescent lights are energy efficient lighting choices. Halogen lamps are used in some recessed lighting for indoor use. Floor lamps may also use halogen bulbs. Read carefully to see what type of indoor lighting can withstand damp settings such as the bathroom.
George Kovacs, who passed away in 2007, was a lighting specialist. He is the person who first introduced the world to halogen lighting in the form of the floor torchiere.
The type of industrial lighting you choose will depend on the space that you are lighting. Popular types include bay lights, fluorescent fixtures, and halogen lights.
The key words are, `low voltage` halogen fixtures. Compact flourescents use 120 volts in the States, so the answer is simply, no.
Neon would be one, Halogen another. Xenon can be used too.
Halogen floor lamps are a staple of many home office setups due to their comfortable lighting output. Modern halogen lights come in a huge variety of designs, so consider choosing something fun for a relaxing effect.
Track lighting is cheaper in the long run as it uses halogen lights which take much longer to burn out, however the initial cost of a dome light is much cheaper.
Halogen lamps are no longer unsafe. The federal govenment forced the industry to clean up its act or they were not allowed to market their products. They now emit only safe lighting.
