The technology behind halogen lighting is a breakthrough for floor lamps. Tungsten/halogen combination is better than the traditional luminous lighting for conserving energy efficiently and in its ability to concentrate the light. Halogen bulbs nay lack the efficiency in conserving energy as fluorescent lights but they make up for that by the way they direct the brightness of the emitted light in a particular angle because of their aluminized parabolic reflector that serves to redirect light that would have been wasted. Halogen lamps are therefore perfect for galleries and gardens where explicit items must be displayed under spotlighting.
Halogen floor lamps are also good for studying as reading lights or a spotlight only - not as the main source of light for a room. Major halogen lamps will usually beam their light directly on the ceiling, which reflects it all through the room. The incompetence of this process demands that such lamps be more powerful than the specialized lamps. This process is also a misuse of the lamps' accurate focus of light beams, and restricts them to rooms with whitish or brightly colored ceilings that have no texture.
Their longevity runs for around 2,000 to 3,500 hours before they burn out. Their crispy lighting that eases the strain on the eye, plus the fact that they don't weaken over time like the luminescent forerunners is a strong clue of their prevalence rate among the masses today. Apart from that, the halogen floor lamps have become the ideal lighting selection for many rooms because of their affordability.
Those who appreciate the advances of halogen lighting can only wait in anticipation for the development of fluorescent technology with improved energy efficiency in a halogen floor lamp. Since halogen has become the primary choice in making reading light and spot lights it has overtaken fluorescent lamps as the choice for incandescent lighting.
