How Do Halo Headlights Work?
Introduction Halogen lights operate on the same principle as other incandescent lamps; however, the different chemicals used to make halogen lamps create a brighter, longer-lasting and more efficient light source. The offset to this improvement is that halogen lamps require more expensive materials for their manufacture. Another issue with halogen headlights is the discomfort experienced by other motorists: because of the brightness of the lamps, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported a record number of complaints when the agency sought comments on them in 2002. How Incandescent Bulbs Work Generally, incandescent lights are composed of a tungsten filament and an inert gas contained within a glass bulb. Electricity heats the filament that incandesces, giving off light and heat. The inert gas in the bulb displaces oxygen and prevents the filament from erupting into flame. One of the side effects of this process is the gradual breakdown of the tungsten, which causes t
