Halogen lights are traditional lighting sources; most of the traditional light sources have been replaced by LED lights.
- The biggest difference between the two is the principle of illumination. Halogen lights use tungsten filaments, and the output light of LED is light-emitting diodes.
- Brightness difference
The halogen lights is the low, perhaps only more than 1000 lumens, color temperature is usually 3400K, color tone tends to be warm. The LED lights' lumens can reach above 4,000 lumens, and the color temperature is between 4000K and 8000K. researches show that between 5000K and 6000K is the best color temperature. General office lighting uses this color temperature range. That is the people-friendly range of color temperature.
- Lifetime
The halogen lights lifetime up to 500 hours at most, but the LED lights have 50,000 hours, which is 100 times that of halogen lights.
- Maintenance cost
Halogen lamps have a short life span and, over time, they can not support good lighting; it need frequent maintenance and replacement, resulting in higher management costs later.
- Performance
In addition, LED lights have other advantages, which can save 65% energy compared to halogen lights. Its directional illumination is also strong, which reduces additional lighting. CRI values can be above 80, which ensures that the product under the light is kept optimal. Such as the irradiation of agricultural products.
- Application
At present, the application range of halogen lights may be special, such as background lighting, spotlights, or you must use halogen light bulbs for places with high color requirements, such as art lighting, kitchen stripping, dining table, bathroom makeup lighting, bedroom decoration lights, etc.
Led lamps are mostly used in commercial lighting, industrial lighting, and conventional lighting. It is more widely used in all kinds of places.
