Is Halogen light energy saving, compared to incandescent?

Question

Fluorescent is probably best, but any advantage of Halogen?

Answer 1

halogen bulbs use 20% less energy.  flourescent uses 70% less.

Answer 2

Halogen lights are incandescent so no great saving there. Go for fluorescent or LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes).

Answer 3

The features of halogen are hard to find in other lamps.In some applications it may be possible to replace halogens with metal halide or color-corrected high pressure sodium lamps.

Halogen lamps provide a very bright point source in a small package and provide excellent color rendition.

They are the choice for energy efficient lighting.They are similar to incandescents but produce a whiter light, use an average of 40% less electricity, last two to four times longer and come in spot or flood types.

For reading and other exacting tasks, the bright light reduces eyestrain.

For display lighting, where you want to highlight artwork, photos, crystal or architectural features, the white focused light makes colors appear more vibrant. Halogen spotlights allow pinpoint focus. Using standard bulbs for general lighting in the same room heightens the effect of halogens even more.

For outdoor use, halogen floodlights cast a brighter, easier-to-see-by light. And since they last twice as long as standard bulbs, you won’t need to struggle to reach hard-to-access outdoor fixtures as often.

These are some of the advantages of Halogen lamps.
