Whats the difference between incandescent and halogen type bulbs?
Both incandescent and halogen light bulbs use a filament to produce light. Halogen bulbs operate more efficiently than incandescent bulbs because the filament is incased in a glass capsule, in a halogen gas atmosphere. Halogen lasts up to 3 times longer than equivalent incandescent bulbs, and produces a whiter, brighter light.
