Halogen lamps

The halogen lamps are temperature radiators and have a functional similar to the incandescent lamps. They also have a glow wire inside, which is caused to glow through energy when the flow is flowed and then radiates light. The difference is in the halogen in the case of halogen lamps, which extends their lifespan in contrast to the light bulb.

The halogens are small particles, the repelled particles of the glow wire capture so -called cuffed tungsten atoms and attribute to the wire. Ultimately, the light output and the lifespan are extended. This functionality of halogen lamps is referred to as halogen cycle.

There are high-voltage and low-voltage halogen lamps to buy, the former are suitable for the normal mains voltage of 230 volts and the latter are only operated with 12 volts. Lower Volt Halogen lamps therefore need a transformer that reduces the voltage. In addition, the pistons of both variants are often equipped with an infrared-reflecting coating (also called IR coating), so that the heat radiation of the mulled wire can be brought back to the wire, which saves energy.

Like the light bulb, high-voltage-halogen lamps with a directed light and an efficiency class of lower than B according to Ordinance number 244/2009 are removed "Requirements for the environmentally friendly design of household lamps with unexpected light". With this measure and the regulation, the environment is to be protected and energy saved.
