Rating of the best halogen lamps for the home for 2022

For a long time, incandescent lamps have been used in homes, factories and street lighting. They seemed to be irreplaceable. But nothing is permanent, and the technology of glowing by heating the tungsten coil has been improved. As a result, the service life, brightness, and power consumption have been reduced. We offer a rating of the best halogen lamps for the home for 2022.

The principle of operation of a halogen lamp

Halogen models use the classic scheme for emitting a luminous flux due to the incandescence of the spiral. Only it has been improved. Instead of a vacuum that protects the spiral from oxidation and rapid combustion, the flask is filled with iodine and bromine. This mixture extends the life of the coil several times over.

Tungsten atoms break away from a hot spiral, rapidly fly to a glass, more often quartz, flask. In the vacuum of a conventional lamp, they settle on its inner surface. The spiral gradually thins and burns out.

Halogen vapors interfere with this process. They do not allow tungsten atoms to settle on the walls of the flask. As a result, the detached particles return back, react with the hot metal, and combine with it. The spiral is constantly being restored. At the same time, the flask is not covered with plaque, it remains transparent. Its dimensions are much smaller.

According to buyers, halogens have created competition for energy-saving LED devices. Many are attracted by the low consumption of electricity and the ability to independently give a second life to the housekeeper. The comparison table shows how a simple halogen lamp differs from an LED one.

Characteristics	Halogen	LED
Electricity consumption - comparison with incandescent lamps	A little lower, by 10-15%	10 times lower
Device	Simple	complex
Gas	pressurized helium	Helium
After expiration	unsuitable	Can be restored by yourself
Life time	2000-4000 hours	2-3 years (8000-12000 hours)
The size	small	Ordinary
Light brightness	2800-3200 lm	for home up to 1000 lm (10 lm/1 W)
Spectrum	white warm	White cold, yellow warm
UV Protection	There are on some	There is
Voltage	220-230 V	160-250V

The question of how much it costs for 2022 is not in favor of halogens. Housekeepers are slightly more expensive than their cheapest competitors.

The disadvantage of halogen lamps is their heating to high temperatures. Models without an additional flask cannot be taken without gloves. Fingerprints remain at the touch points, the transparent body quickly burns out.

The main advantage of halogens is bright light. When you need to get by with a small number of lighting points, a smart lamp with a dimmer is suitable for the office. It produces a warm white light that enhances employee productivity. It can change the intensity of radiation depending on the illumination of the room.

Types of halogen lamps

Externally, the elements differ in the shape of the flask, its size, and the type of base. By appointment for outdoor and indoor lighting, for cars, various industrial installations, household equipment. Before buying, you should find out what they are: with the usual screw base, for special lamps, decor elements.

The following types are used for the home.

With reflector

Interior designers most often use models with a reflector. They have flat glass, are perfectly built into stretch, suspended ceilings, various designs of built-in, cabinet furniture, niches.

Point light devices with a reflector gives a local stream of rays. This does not create harsh shadows.Illumination of space, objects is uniform, shadowless. Popular models are available with different types of reflectors, diffusers:

• protective glass;
• aluminium foil;
• dichroic reflector.

The protective glass works like a filter, not passing a certain wavelength, namely ultraviolet rays. As a result, natural wood furniture and other interior items that are destroyed by the sun retain their appearance longer. The benefits and harms of such lighting are determined by the predominance of positive characteristics.

Leaves of plants, human skin are also protected from harmful short-wave UV radiation.

A thin aluminum reflector reflects, enhances the luminous flux. At the same time, it shields heat, preventing the contacts and the ceiling from overheating. When using luminaires with aluminum reflectors, there are no dust circles.

The dichroic reflector passes the heat generated by the helix and gases uniformly through the side surfaces. The reflector reflects light well without damaging the finishing material around the halogen bulb.

Capsule

Miniature models differ in the shape and intensity of the light flux. They are willingly used by designers to highlight individual elements of the interior, decor, and furniture. The flask is made of quartz, strong, has wide functionality. The capsule halogen works in the smart home system. Special additives regulate the radiation, not passing certain waves, such as ultraviolet. The light has no shadows, sharp transitions, close to natural.

Linear

Reminiscent of the shape of old neon lamps, long cylinders with two socles at the edges. They operate on household mains current. Having small dimensions, they create a powerful stream of light scattered in all directions.

Outside, linear lamps are used to illuminate large areas. At home, they are installed in lamps with suitable cartridges.

outer flask

They look like incandescent bulbs. Glass pear with a spiral base. Can be screwed into classic cartridges. Inside, instead of a spiral, a halogen capsule. The outer bulb protects the inner light source from mechanical damage and grease stains that remain when touched by fingers.

The outer bulb increases the brightness by 35-40%, extends the service life up to 2000 hours. 50W halogen model equivalent to 75W incandescent lamp.

The best halogen lamps, according to users

How to choose a halogen lamp that is most suitable for the interior and meets the requirements for the illumination of the room or its individual zones. On the recommendation of experts, you should first study the lamps, and for what type of socles the cartridges are made. Then view the rating of high-quality models in demand in 2022.

We offer the TOP of the most purchased halogen lamps for the home. The popularity of models was determined by experts, taking into account consumer feedback. The review included a description, photos, technical characteristics of the models that topped the rating.

screw base

Thomas Edison patented his screw base and cartridge in 1879. It met all the requirements of safety, convenient use. When screwing in, one contact was connected to the end of the metal base, the second - to the side surface. The spiral guarantees a secure fit.

There are several sizes of screw bases, from E12 to E40. Each country widely uses different types of cartridges, at its discretion. For example, large E39s can only be found in North America, and E40s in Europe.

Models with a screw base and an additional flask are budgetary, with a long service life. Among them there is a function to save electricity.

How to choose the right halogen lamp

The main mistakes when choosing halogen lamps are not to take into account their heating and the difficulty in dismantling burned-out devices. When located close to the ceiling - for example, ceiling lighting, it "sticks" to the cartridge with a hot base. Small dimensions make it impossible to grasp the design with a cartridge.

What to look for when buying a halogen lamp in order to use it rationally. Where it will stand, what current it works on, whether brightness control is needed. Expert advice will help you avoid mistakes.

Instead of a conventional incandescent lamp, models with a spiral base are screwed in. But they cannot be placed in a chandelier with ceiling lamps located upwards. A strong stream of hot air plus radiation will quickly burn the ceiling around the lamp.

When choosing a manufacturer and deciding which company is the best product, pay attention to domestic brands. They are maximally adapted to local conditions, without consequences they endure voltage drops and its decrease.

Where to look for halogens

Buying cheaper will have to be abandoned. The glass does not become cloudy and it is impossible to distinguish a new lamp from an old one.
Where to buy a quality product with the right characteristics, which will really work for a long time. You can visit a specialized store. If it does not have the desired product, you should go to the online store, choose the best option and order online.

Halogen light bulbs are manufactured by different companies. The choice is large, the characteristics are largely the same. Domestic companies have launched the production of products that are not inferior in quality to the best world ones.

Under the German brand, they offer products made in China. Plus, China has its own brands and monitors their quality.
