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 An anonymous person wrote: 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 NT |
