How Do You Wire A Halogen Lamp?
Halogen light bulbs are a more energy-efficient alternative to regular incandescent ones. They are filled with halogen gas which produces a brighter light at a much higher temperature, but because they burn so hot, they must be enclosed in a heat-resistant material, such as quartz. Halogen reacts with the tungsten in the bulb filament, partially recycling it back onto the filament, so that halogen bulbs last longer than incandescent ones. Halogen fixtures are wired in the same way as regular incandescent fixtures. Step 1 Make sure the power is off.
