Halogen lighting fixtures

Halogen Lighting Fixtures:

Halogen light fixtures come in a wide selection for a variety of applications - cable lighting, display lighting, monorail lighting, picture lights, recessed lighting, fixtures, track lighting, and wall sconces.

Halogen bulbs are a form of incandescent lamp bulb containing halogen gases that increase the life of the bulb (up to 2,000 hours) but they are more expensive to buy than ordinary incandescent bulbs.

They can be either tubular or low voltage bulbs. Low voltage halogen lamps are not low energy lamps. They are slightly more efficient than normal bulbs of the same wattage and are most suitable for highlighting features such as paintings or for special purpose lighting directly over a cooking area or desk.

Halogen lights are used for downlighting. Downlights provide bright pools of light rather than general illumination. Up to six downlights may be required to light the same area as one pendant light. Downlights can also cause gaps in ceiling insulation, particularly if they require clear space to allow heat to dissipate.

Halogen lights should be fitted with lower wattage and more efficient bulbs. Efficient 35W halogen lamps are available that produce as much light as a standard 50W lamp.
