halogeenvalgustid

Halogeenvalgustid are a type of incandescent light bulb that uses a halogen gas, such as iodine or bromine, in addition to a filament. This halogen gas allows the filament to operate at a higher temperature than in a traditional incandescent bulb, resulting in brighter light and a longer lifespan. The halogen gas also reacts with evaporated tungsten from the filament, redepositing it back onto the filament. This process, known as the halogen cycle, helps to prevent the bulb from blackening over time and extends its operational life. Halogeenvalgustid are known for producing a warm, white light and are often used in applications where good color rendering is important, such as in retail displays, kitchens, and accent lighting. They are available in various shapes and sizes, including standard A-shape bulbs, reflector lamps, and small capsule bulbs. While more energy-efficient than standard incandescent bulbs, they are still less efficient than LED or fluorescent lighting technologies. Halogen bulbs generate significant heat and require careful handling due to the high temperatures of the glass envelope.
