| Halogen |
Standard |
| Halogen gas causes the evaporated tungsten to redeposit on the filament. |
Tungsten is deposited on the walls of the bulb reducing light output. |
| The high pressure within the bulb slows down the deterioration of the filament. |
Over a relatively short time the filament gets thinner until it finally breaks. |
| High color temperature and 100 CRI. Their light contains more blue and green than a standard bulb causing the halogen light to appear whiter and brighter. |
Low color temperature and 100 CRI casts a warm light that provides good color rendition of human skin tones. |
| Uses a low voltage system that operates efficiently at lower wattages than line voltage systems. |
Produces light by heating a solid material until it glows. Most of the energy consumed is given off as heat, resulting in low LPW (lumens per watt) performance. |
| Produces large amounts of light from a very small area causing excellent beam control. |
Poor beam control. |
