Default Another BULB question

Fwom:PhilÅ )

But the question is, I saw some 240V halogen normal size bulbs??.

Will they
give off more light than a standard bulb with the same rating??.


slightly


Will they
generate more/less/same heat as a standard bulb??


A 60w bulb will produce the same heat as a 60w bulb. Tevhnically
theres a tiny difference, but too small to be of any relevance.


Ok probably go for the same wattage halogens
Do they give off more heat than a standard bulb?? 240Volt halogens??


same answer

To answer the question stated Phil we would have to know the wattage

of
the 240V halogen bulb. If it is a 60 watt, then at 240 volts as
opposed to 120v it will burn much dimmer than a standard 60 watt

bulb,
but will last about 2 to 3 times longer. So really the only

advantage
you're getting with a 240 volt bulb is longer life. The halogen will
generate less heat if it is the same wattage (60 watt) because it is
burning dimmer. Hope that helps!


complete twaddle
