Unfortunately, for the most part, all kinds of new fashion trends in fact do not differ in practicality. And the acquisition of “novelties” seems, often, an empty waste of its own means.
Let’s take a look at this thesis applicable to halogen lamps. In fact, in the constructive terms of any special differences between halogen lamps and familiar incandescent lamps, no. The principle of their action, by and large, is identical. But thanks to modern methods that are used in the production of halogen lamps, their characteristics exceed the incandescent lamps in lamps.
Due to the content in halogen lamps of both broomy and iodine compounds, there is a kind of restoration of incandescent threads. Thus, a significant increase in the useful life of halogen lamps is evident.
What benefits are inherent in halogen lamps:
– With the same degree of lighting, the halogen lamp consumes 30-50% of electricity less;
– light emitted by a halogen lamp is 99% similar to light from sunlight;
– The life of halogen lamps is two to three times larger, unlike incandescent lamps;
– The luminous flux of such lamps is constantly at a stable level;
– From an aesthetic point of view, of course, these lamps have a more attractive appearance;
– halogen lamps can easily be used in decorative lighting devices;
– To the best of the fact that the flask of a halogen lamp is made of quartz glass, then, as a result, such lamps are characterized by both greater resistance to high temperatures and resistance to various chemical interactions;
– The flow of rays of the halogen lamp is focused very easily;
– The level of ultraviolet radiation is minimal.
But there are also disadvantages:
– When purchasing halogen lamps, it is necessary to take into account the device of your lighting device. If, from a technical point of view, the lamp involves the use of lamps with a basement, then it is impossible to use halogen lamps in this case;
– With an increase in voltage by five percent, the lamp resource is significantly reduced. And a decrease in voltage entails a decrease in temperature, which inevitably leads to the settlement of tungsten and the refinement of the thread of incandescent. Thus, this entails a reduction in the period of use of a halogen lamp;
– halogen lamps must be constantly kept clean. Since the glass flask heats up to 250 degrees. And as a result, polluted areas, burning, lead to the destruction of the lamp.
Are it disadvantages? If yes, then they are not so significant.
So the practical component from the use of halogen lamps is quite justified.
