Can halogen car bulbs be directly replaced with LED bulbs?
1 Answers
Halogen car bulbs can be directly replaced with LED bulbs. Halogen lamps are a variant of incandescent bulbs, which operate by injecting halogen gases such as iodine or bromine into the bulb. Under high temperatures, the sublimated tungsten filament chemically reacts with the halogen, and the cooled tungsten re-solidifies on the filament, forming a balanced cycle to prevent premature breakage of the filament. Precautions for using halogen bulbs include: 1. Halogen bulbs operate at very high temperatures, so ensure the bulb is fully cooled before removing it; 2. The glass shell of halogen bulbs is made of quartz material—avoid touching the bulb with hands or cloth before lighting, as this may cause irreversible loss of luster; 3. If the halogen bulb gets dirty, clean it with an alcohol-soaked cotton ball before lighting.
