Halogen lamps offer a combination of benefits that make them an appealing alternative to standard incandescents in many
applications. Brilliant,
White Light: Halogen lamps
deliver a crisp, white
light. Not only is the
quantity of the light greater than a standard
incandescent of comparable wattage, but
the quality of the light creates a higher
contrast for reading and other tasks. This
also makes halogen perfect for display,
accent and general lighting. Color
Temperature & Rendering: Since
halogens are incandescent lamps, their CRI of
100 will render colors accurately and will
match the color temperature of other light sources
in the 3000K range. Long Life: Standard
incandescent lamps and halogen lamps both use ungsten
filaments. However, the filament in the standard lamp evaporates over time,
causing it to weaken and eventually break. The gasses
inside halogen lamps allow the evaporated tungsten to
find its way back to the filament and
redeposit, ensuring a long life of 2,000 hours or more.
