Tube Halogen Lamps

When selecting halogen lamps, it's essential to understand the relationship between wattage and brightness. Wattage indicates energy consumption, while lumens measure brightness. For instance, a 50-watt halogen lamp typically produces around 600-700 lumens. If you're replacing an old lamp, check its lumen output to ensure your new choice provides similar brightness. This way, you can achieve the desired lighting without unnecessary energy use.

The colour temperature of halogen lamps affects the ambience of your space. Measured in Kelvin (K), lower numbers like 2700K emit a warm, yellowish light ideal for cosy settings. Higher numbers such as 3000K or more produce cooler, bluish tones suitable for task lighting or modern interiors. Think about where you'll use the lamp and choose a colour temperature that complements your decor and mood preferences.
