Halogen lighting is a type of incandescent lighting that uses a halogen gas to increase efficiency and lifespan. These bulbs produce a bright, white light and are commonly used in homes, offices, and outdoor settings. They are known for their ability to render colors accurately, making them popular for tasks requiring good visibility. Halogen bulbs operate at higher temperatures than traditional incandescent bulbs, which allows them to produce more light with less energy. However, they can become very hot during use, so proper handling and installation are important to avoid burns or fire hazards.
