Energy Saving Light Bulbs
An alternate to standard tungsten filament bulbs can be a halogen bulb or metal halide light bulbs. Halogen lamps will save you energy in comparison to more conventional tungsten filament light bulbs. The halogen bulb contains a gas that prevents the breakdown of the tungsten filament within the halogen lamp. This is accomplished by the gas within the halogen light bulb preventing the tungsten filament from leaving a layer of tungsten on the inside of the bulbs glass and returning tungsten particles to the filament. The way the halogen bulb works extends the life of the bulb as well as using the electrical energy more efficiently. A halogen lamp can be purchased in various styles of light fixtures to suit most applications of this energy saving type of light bulb.
