Question

Which saves energy, halogen or ordinary light bulb?

Answer 1

A normal light bulb is not very efficient, and it only lasts about 750 to 1,000 hours in normal use. It's not very efficient because, in the process of radiating light, it also radiates a huge amount of infrared heat, far more heat than light. A halogen lamp run extremely hot but you get more energy meaning more light per unit of energy. But when asking which saves more energy, ordinary light bulbs will because since halogen light bulbs get so hot, it wastes a lot of energy although it lasts longer. If you're looking for the most energy efficient bulb, i would go for fluorescent light bulbs.

Answer 2

A GUESS, I'd say a light bulb, because a halogen takes alot more energy to make it work.==IN MY OPINION.

Answer 3

L.E.D's save energy, neither of those ones above are very good. Ordinary light bulbs are better than halogen.

Outside Solar lights are best.

Answer 4

Like ordinary light bulbs, halogen lamps only use 10 to 12% of the energy in generating light (the rest is mostly emitted as heat), and are not as efficient as fluorescent lamps or compact fluorescent lamps.
