Halogen Lamps:
A halogen lamp is a special kind of incandescent lamp. The light output is more consistent
than a standard incandescent lamp and the life is longer. Size is smaller because it is
important for the halogen cycle to have a high bulb wall temperature, which requires quartz
or hard glass to be used. Better beam control is possible because of the small source size.
Basic Halogen Lamp Types the common types of halogen lamps are:
(1) Linear (sometimes called double-ended)
(2) Single-ended
(3) Capsule (single-ended but no outer bulb)
(4) PAR (capsule contained in PAR shape bulb) Used for gardens or stage lighting.
Also known as spot or reflector lamps Lens
(5) Low Voltage Reflector (Precise lamps)

(A) Features of the Halogen Lamps:

Luminous Efficacy:
Luminous efficacy increases with higher tungsten temperature. Using Xenon (larger atoms)
the temperature can be raised to increase the luminous efficacy by 5%-10% and colour
temperature by about 100 degrees Kelvin. Xenon can only be used in low voltage lamps
because the lower ionizing energy of Xenon would lead to an electrical discharge with higher
voltages.
