Halogen lights and bulbs are types of the incandescent light technology. These lights and bulbs function by letting electrical energy pass through a filament or thin wire of tungsten enclosed by a tube of glass filled with halogen gas. The halogen gas serves as the catalyst for chemical reaction. The reaction causes the tungsten to be removed from the glass wall and deposited back to the filament. This is the cause of the bulbs’ long life. Although an offshoot of the incandescent technology, the filaments in halogen lights and bulbs must have higher temperature than those used in incandescent lights for the reaction to happen. This results in a brighter and whiter light.

Nevertheless, the brighter light of halogen lights and bulbs causes the tungsten to evaporate faster, hence, the need for an expensive gas to stagger the evaporation. The gas of choice used is krypton gas. Together with a high pressure, these two effectively stagger and lower the evaporation rate of tungsten in halogen lights. This process also requires a thicker and smaller bulb which translates into higher temperature. A temperature of 300 degrees Celsius is not uncommon for halogen bulbs. This is the reason why halogen lights got the reputation of being fire hazards. But there is no need to worry about fires due to these lights if they are used and established properly.

You may be used to your standard watt light bulb. But today it seems that fluorescent lightings are really gaining popularity.

Unfortunately, over the years fluorescent lightings have carried the negative mark that they provide flickering, sickly, green-tinted, institutional-like, headache-inducing, noisy light. But, those lights that used to be favored only for lighting the garage are making their way into other rooms.

Today, the way of fluorescent lighting has altered. It is not only one of the most effective options offered, giving the longest-lasting bulb, but it also comes in a variety of colors, types, and sizes. And, best of all, thanks to the new electronic ballasts, they are very quiet.

But you may wonder what exactly makes a fluorescent light a fluorescent light.

Fluorescent lightings are phosphor-coated, glass tubes that are filled with an inert gas and also a small amount of mercury. Since different brands also can have different mixes of the gases that are inside, fluorescents produce a wide assortment of color light that can well match the warm glow often given off by incandescent.
