About Halogen Bulbs

Halogen bulbs make great task lights. Why? Because they are brighter, and whiter than most other options. A halogen desk lamp can offer a very condensed focus so that you're not illuminating the whole room, but just the area where you are working or reading. Halogen bulbs are also longer lasting and more energy efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs.

Most of the desk lamps below will come with the bulb, however, if you have to replace it, know that halogen bulbs do tend to cost quite a bit more than other light bulbs. It's also important to know that these bulbs also tend to burn hotter. Therefore, if you are working with them, there may be some added heat and it can be important to assure small children aren't tempted to touch the bulb. It's also wise to be careful about keeping flammable items, such as curtains, at a distance.

Because a halogen desk lamp uses a smaller bulb, the fire risk is less than with a larger, hotter, more exposed bulb in a Torchiere, but they still need to be respected.

Don't Touch The Glass

Wear a rubber glove to handle a halogen bulb. The oils in your fingers can cause them to fail much too soon.

    I have a lot of halogen lamps around, not just as desk lamps, but also for example mounted under the cupboards in the kitchen or shelves in the bathrooms. They give a very nice light for any working place.
