A halogen is a representative element from group VII in the periodic table. More specifically, Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, and Astatine. Astatine is a very unstable radionuclide so is not normally dealt with. A halide is a chemical compound of halogens bonded to more electro positive elements.
The halogen light bulb or lamp is a type of incandescent lamp which uses a halogen gas in order to increase both light output and rated life.They are known for moderately high efficiency, quality of light, and high rated life compared to regular incandescent lamps. halogen lamp functions identically to an incandescent lamp, with one notable exception: The halogen cycle. In a typical incandescent lamp, tungsten slowly evaporates from the burning filament. This causes blackening of the lamp, which decreases light output and reduces life.
