What is the difference between Incandescent and Halogen Light Bulbs?
Both incandescent and halogen light bulbs use a filament to produce light. However, halogen bulbs are designed to operate more efficiently than incandescent bulbs because the filament is encased in a glass capsule, in a halogen gas atmosphere. They last up to three times longer than equivalent incandescent bulbs and produce a brighter, whiter light that brightens rooms and makes tasks like reading easier. Because of this superior performance, halogen bulbs tend to cost a little more than incandescent bulbs. Halogen PARs (parabolic aluminized reflectors) are great substitutes for incandescent reflectors.
