HALOGEN LAMP CONSTRUCTION

A halogen lamp is an incandescent lamp with a tungsten filament contained within an inert gas and a small amount of halogen. The tungsten filament together with the halogen gas produces what is known as the halogen regenerative process, which allows the halogen lamp to operate at a higher temperature and with more efficiency than a standard incandescent lamp.

The construction of a halogen lamp is similar to that of an incandescent; however some differences can be noticed.

BELOW ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF A HALOGEN LAMP.

  1. Gas: halogen gas usually bromine or iodine.
  2. Bulb: made of quartz to withstand high temperatures.
  3. Molybdenum Foil: used as a conductor to ensure the hermetic dealing of the lamp. It enables the filament to operate at higher temperatures.
