Halogen Bulbs

Achieve a high-quality, bright white light with our halogen light bulbs. These incandescent-based lamps incorporate a halogen gas within the bulb, which helps to improve their efficiency and lifespan. Halogen bulbs are known for their compact size, excellent color rendering properties, and superior lumen output, making them a popular choice for task lighting, accent lighting, and specialty applications. While not as energy-efficient as LED options, halogen lighting remains a viable solution in settings where its unique qualities are desired. We stock a wide variety of halogen bulbs from leading manufacturers to ensure quality and reliability. Whether for residential, commercial, or decorative use, you’ll find the perfect bulb to suit your lighting needs.

Why Choose Halogen Light Bulbs?

Halogen bulbs are a specialized form of incandescent lighting where a tungsten filament is sealed within a compact quartz envelope filled with a halogen gas. This “halogen cycle” enables higher filament temperature, improved efficiency, and better light quality compared to standard incandescents. You benefit from bright, crisp color, reliable dimming performance and immediate full-output lighting.

For versatility and compatibility, our halogen bulb collection spans a wide variety of form-factors and base types so you can match virtually any fixture or lighting need:

• Tubular Halogen (T-Series): T3, T4, T5, T8, etc — slim profiles for linear fixtures, display lighting, under-cabinet use.
• Reflector & Flood Lamps (R, BR, PAR, MR Series): R20, BR30/40, PAR16/20/30, MR11/MR16 — designed for focused, directional light in track, recessed or accent lighting.
• Low-Voltage Capsule & Spot (Bi-Pin Bases): G4, G5.3, GU5.3, GU10, GY6.35 — used in display cases, under-cabinet lighting, landscape lighting, and architectural accents.
• Base Types / Socket Compatibility:
  • E26 Medium Screw: Common household screw-in base.
  • E12 Candelabra Screw: Smaller screw-in base for decorative fixtures.
  • Bi-Pin / Push-In Sockets: G4, G5.3, GU10, etc — compact or low-voltage systems.
  • Other Specialty Bases: R7S, BA15d, etc used in worklights, theatre lighting or high-wattage halogen lamps.
    
    

Wattage, Light Output & Finish Options

Halogen bulbs deliver crisp brightness, high color fidelity and instant on/off performance. Typically they run hotter than LEDs, so it’s important to ensure your fixture is rated for the heat output. Many halogen bulbs are fully dimmable without flicker, making them great for dynamic lighting control.

Finish options commonly include clear glass (shows the filament for aesthetic appeal) and frosted or coated finishes (for softer, glare-reduced light). Some tubular halogens feature linear quartz-envelopes for high-wattage flood or appliance use.

Applications & Design Strategies

• Task & General Lighting: Use A-series halogens in desk lamps, pendants or ceiling fixtures where bright white light is needed.
• Decorative & Ambient Lighting: Globe or candle-shape halogens in exposed sockets, chandeliers, wall sconces or any design-forward fixture.
• Accent & Display Lighting: Reflector-style (MR/MR16/PAR) halogens excel in retail displays, art lighting, track lighting or recessed cans where beam control matters.
• Low Voltage & Specialty Fixtures: Bi-pin halogens for landscape lighting, under-cabinet puck lights, showcase lighting, and compact architectural applications.
• High-Wattage & Appliance Lighting: T-series tubular halogens for work lights, ovens, floodlights or large-area lighting where size and heat tolerance are built in.

What to Consider Before You Buy

1. Check the Socket / Base Type: Ensure your fixture’s socket is compatible — screw in (E26/E12) vs bi-pin vs specialty base.
2. Choose the Right Shape & Size: The bulb must physically fit the fixture, especially in enclosed or decorative fixtures.
3. Match Wattage & Fixture Heat-Rating: Halogens generate more heat — confirm your fixture supports the wattage and ventilation needed.
4. Decide On Brightness & Beam Angle: For directional lighting pick a reflector type (MR, PAR); for general lighting pick a wide-beam or standard shape.
5. Finish & Aesthetic: Clear glass reveals filament and creates vintage or industrial look; frosted or coated finishes soften the effect for everyday use.
6. Dimming Compatibility: If you plan to dim, verify the halogen bulb is marked dimmable and paired with a compatible dimmer switch.
