Halogena Lightbulbs Last Two Years


Halogena Lightbulbs Last Two Years

Halogena was the line of ˜˜better light bulbs , with at least a two-year life. Halogena was a product line that had been made by Philips in Europe for several years, but had never been introduced into the United States. It was added to the mix to fill in the good, better, best strategy.

Halogen technology was a little different. It had an incandescent coil in a quartz glass container. Instead of argon or neon, it used a halogen gas. Halogen gases replace the tungsten in a burning coil constantly. When an incandescent lightbulb heats up, little bits of tungsten flake off. Eventually the coil gets a weak spot because too much tungsten has flaked off. Then when you flip the switch, you hear that ˜˜pop and the bulb burns out. That happens because the coil has been weakened at that one spot. This happens more slowly with halogen technology, which is why Halogena lightbulbs last two years.

There are several other advantages to Halogena lightbulbs. The light from these lightbulbs is actually whiter and brighter than that from standard incandescent lightbulbs. An incandescent light bulb usually generates fifteen to seventeen lumens per watt, whereas a Halogena lightbulb can go up to twenty-five lumens per watt, making it more efficient. Halogena bulbs do not burn hotter because their shape keeps the inner burner far away from the bulb wall, so that the heat does not really affect the outer wall.

Even though they are based on a different technology, Halogena lightbulbs are practical for home use. Halogena lightbulbs can be screwed into any incandescent lightbulb socket. They are even dimmable, just as incandescent lightbulbs are.
