What is the lifespan of halogen bulbs in hours?
1 Answers
Halogen bulbs have a lifespan of approximately 600 hours. Halogen bulbs are a variant of incandescent bulbs. Their working principle involves filling the bulb with halogen gases such as iodine or bromine. 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 the filament from breaking prematurely. Precautions for using halogen bulbs include: 1. Halogen bulbs operate at very high temperatures, so ensure the bulb is fully cooled before removing it after turning off the headlights; 2. The glass shell of halogen bulbs is made of quartz material. Avoid touching the bulb with hands or cloth before lighting it, as this can cause the bulb to lose its luster irreversibly; 3. If a halogen bulb gets dirty, clean it before lighting it. You can use alcohol-soaked cotton balls to wipe it.
