Halogen Lamps: 3 things to consider before buying
When selecting halogen lamps, it's crucial to match the wattage and voltage to your fixture’s requirements. Using a lamp with the wrong specifications can lead to poor performance or even damage. For example, if you have a fixture designed for a 50-watt lamp, using a higher wattage might cause overheating. Always check your fixture's label or manual to ensure compatibility.
Though halogen lamps are generally more energy-efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs, some models offer additional savings. Look for halogen lamps with energy-saving features like infrared coatings that improve efficiency by reflecting heat back into the filament. This not only reduces energy consumption but also extends the lamp's lifespan, saving you money in the long run.
If you want control over your lighting ambiance, choosing dimmable halogen lamps is key. Not all halogen lamps are compatible with dimmer switches, so verify this feature before purchasing. Dimmable lamps allow you to adjust brightness according to your needs, whether you're setting a cozy mood or need bright light for tasks.
