The color temperature of the original halogen bulb is around 5000K. The introduction and characteristics of halogen bulbs are as follows: Introduction to Halogen Bulbs: Halogen bulbs (English: halogen lamp), also known as halogen lamps or quartz bulbs, are a variant of incandescent bulbs. The principle involves injecting halogen gases such as iodine or bromine into the bulb. At high temperatures, the sublimated tungsten filament chemically reacts with the halogen, and the cooled tungsten re-solidifies on the filament, forming a balanced cycle that prevents premature filament breakage. Thus, halogen bulbs have a longer lifespan than incandescent bulbs. Halogen bulbs typically operate at either AC 220V or DC 12V/24V. Characteristics of Halogen Bulbs: Halogen bulbs are made with tungsten filaments but are enclosed in a smaller quartz glass shell. These gases have a unique property: they combine with tungsten vapor. If the temperature is not high enough, the halogen gas recombines with evaporated tungsten atoms, which then redeposit on the filament. This cyclic process extends the filament's lifespan. Additionally, halogen bulbs can operate at higher filament temperatures, resulting in more light output. Although they generate significant heat, the quartz shell's proximity to the filament makes them hotter than standard bulbs. Halogen bulbs can also operate at higher temperatures than regular incandescent bulbs, offering greater brightness and efficiency. However, at these temperatures, ordinary glass would soften, so halogen bulbs require quartz glass with a higher melting point.
