Incandescent Light Bulb vs Halogen Light Bulb
  • Incandescent Light Bulb: In a halogen bulb, halogen gas causes tungsten (in evaporated form) to redeposit on the filament. The pressure within the bulb slows down the deterioration of the filament.
  • Halogen Light Bulb: In your standard incandescent bulb, tungsten gets deposited onto the walls of the bulb which reduces light output. In a short period of time, the filament gets thinner until it finally breaks.
