Halogen lights and lamps are types of light bulbs. These lights and bulbs work by letting electricity pass through a filament or thin tungsten wire enclosed by a glass tube filled with halogen gas. The halogen gas serves as a catalyst for chemical reaction. The reaction causes the tungsten to be removed from the glass wall and deposited back on the filament. This is because of the long bulb life. Despite being a technology freak incandescent filaments of halogen lamps and bulbs should have higher temperatures than those used in incandescent lights to power the reaction. These results give a whiter light and clearer.
However, the clearer light of halogen lamps and bulbs cause the tungsten to evaporate faster, and therefore need an expensive gas to slow evaporation. The gas of choice used is krypton gas. Along with great pressure, these two actually reduce the evaporation of tungsten halogen lamps. This process also requires a thicker bulb and smaller to withstand the higher temperature. A temperature of 300 ° C is quite common for halogen bulbs. This is the reason why the lights are halogen reputation as fire hazards. But there is no need to worry about fires because these lights are used only if they are installed and properly handle them.
First, be careful to avoid touching the bulbs with your fingers. Not only are hot, but the natural oils from our hands can damage the bulb by weakening the glass. This can cause the gas to explode when the tungsten is depleted. Second, install them in low traffic areas. Thus, the risk of brushing or touching is reduced. Third, keep the halogen lights and bulbs away from objects that are flammable and prone to fire . The halogens can be used in closets or rooms if you are sure you will have at least 45 inches of space between the clothes and objects that are easy to fire. If you must use them in enclosed areas, such as closed glass shelves, minimize the heat caused by replacing the bulbs of greater wattage bulbs with energy saving lamps. Make small holes or vents in the cabinet can also help to reduce and prevent the trapped heat. Read the rest of this entry →
