What is the difference between Halogen, Krypton and Xenon bulbs?
Halogen bulbs are normally filled with about 99% inert gas and 1% halogen gas. The inert gas typically used is argon, which creates a yellower light and burns hot. Krypton and Xenon bulbs are a variation of Halogen bulbs. Different fill gases are used to alter their performance and physical characteristics. Krypton bulbs cost more to produce, however, they offer better performance with their long life and a better quality light. Xenon gas is used to create a bulb that produces a whiter light that burns at a cooler temperature. Xenon bulbs have a longer rated life than standard halogens.
