Halogen

Also known as the Tungsten Halogen Lamp, this lighting solution is a combination of an incandescent lamp with a Tungsten filament contained within halogen gas to set in motion what is called the halogen cycle to give out light. The halogen cycle is key to the advantages of halogen lamps as it provides the light source with extended lifespan and prevents the darkening of the bulb to ensure a more consistent source of light throughout its lifespan. Halogen lamps have come under close scrutiny from health and safety professionals due to the amount of heat they tend to produce. For this reason most halogen light sources are required to be fitted with a covering in one form or another. The source is more often covered by a grid, grille, glass or metal casing to ensure safety and to prevent the posed threat of fire or burn hazards when enjoying this handy lighting solution.
