The halogen lamp goes out, the LED lamp goes on

The halogen lamp goes out, the LED lamp goes on

Halogen lamps use up to ten times more power than LED lighting, and that for the same light output. It is therefore not illogical that halogen will soon disappear from the radar ... A market without halogen, a lack or not? We provide more explanation below!

Why does the halogen disappear?

The European Union is increasingly imposing strict requirements on energy efficiency. The attention now goes to lighting. Since 1 September 2018, it has been decided by the EU Member States to stop halogen production. Why? Halogen has the energy label D, while LED has the A label ... Big difference, right?

Halogen: better heating than lighting

When using halogen lamps, they become very hot. Traditional lighting converts around 10% of energy into light and the rest into heat. With LED, the ratio is the other way around. Halogen can still be used in industry or business, but they also disappear systematically there. In lighting cases, and therefore also with lamplight, the stock of halogen may still be sold, whereby it is then possible to switch completely to LED.

Halogen replaced with LED

The future of LED? It looks bright. As mentioned earlier, it is much more energy efficient. It also lasts longer (around 35,000 burning hours). In addition, it no longer has any shortcomings in terms of colors of lighting and the dimensions of the fittings. Be sure to check out the RGB lights on our website!

But not everything is rose scent with LED. This really has room for improvement. LED is more difficult to dim than the traditional halogen. LED dimmers only work from a certain power. That power is more difficult to achieve with LED. Agreed, LED lights are more expensive, but you will certainly earn it back as quickly!

Ultimately, the disadvantages do not outweigh the benefits. Intermediate position? 1-0 for LED. Those who still have halogen in their living room: no problem. Replace your halogen lights as quickly as possible and choose nice LED lights for your home! Ambiance? 100% insured!
