Halogen bulbs for Cadillac burn brightly than conventional light bulbs. These bulbs have longer life than conventional light bulbs and are more efficient , also halogen bulbs are preferred choice for headlights and is often used in large public gathering for illumination where very bright light is required. For Example, during late 1990's till 2006 halogen bulbs were used to illuminate "Times Square Ball" and then from 2007 halogen bulbs were replaced by LED bulbs because they are more efficient than halogen bulbs.
In an ordinary light bulb there is a tungsten filament, which gets heated on supply of power and produces light. More the filament heats, it starts breaking down the tungsten and with time the filament breaks, and in the process light bulb burns out.
Halogen bulbs are kind of incandescent light bulb . The halogen bulb consists of a tungsten filament enclosed in another material. It uses quartz , because quartz can withstand high temperatures . Halogen Gases are used in halogen bulbs , while in conventional light bulbs argon or nitrogen, gases are used .
Halogen bulb lasts longer because halogen gas combines with tungsten vapour and in the process it gets redeposited on the filament of the bulb, which keeps on recycling energy.
Efficiency of the halogen bulb increases considerably because of the heat halogen bulbs generates are used for the chemical reaction between halogen gases and tungsten ,thus halogen bulbs get heated more and emit brighter light than a conventional light bulb.
Halogen bulbs are to be handled with care because it can cause burns, as halogen bulbs tend to achieve higher temperature than ordinary bulbs . The reason halogen bulbs become so hot is that, the material used in it is quartz which is very close to the filament.
High temperature is required to operate a halogen bulb. Halogen bulbs give continuous light, which vary from ultraviolet to infrared further it goes to produce blue light with an effective high color temperature.
Halogen bulbs should be handled by wearing gloves because handling a halogen bulb with naked hands will expose the quartz with unnecessary things and may damage it and in the process decrease its life span , if handled with naked hand one should first clean and dry their hands properly to avoid causing any damage.
Halogen bulbs should not be kept near things that can cause flames because halogen bulbs can open fire immediately, so care should be taken in this regard..
Halogen bulbs are widely used as headlamps in vehicles . Halogen bulbs are also widely used as floodlights for outdoor lighting like grounds and stadiums , now-a-days halogen bulbs is also used in desktop lamps also.
Undoped quartz halogen bulbs might cause sunburn due to unnecessary exposure to excess emission of Ultra Violet light . Inorder to nullify this unwanted emission of Ultra Violet light glass filters are used around the bulb
Halogen bulbs are replaced now-a-days with LED bulbs because they don't heat-up much like halogen bulbs and also are considered more effective and less dangerous to handle than halogen bulbs , also LED bulbs produce much brighter light than halogen bulbs.
Halogen Bulbs due to its high temperature and heating phenomenon are considered to be hazardous to nature and one of the cause for global warming , hence this has resulted in discontinuation of halogen bulbs in large public gathering or sports events.
