Which produces more HEAT, a 40W Incandescent, or a 40W Halogen bulb?

...Jim Thompson


Technically the incandescent. The both consume 40 watts but the halogen is
more efficient at converting power to light (and hence not to heat). I
said 'technically' because you are unlikely to notice the difference in
heat.
