- 1 September 2011, the ban will extend to 60-watt lamps;
- September 1, 2012 will be Once the lamps of between 25 and 40 watts;
- September 1 2016 the ban will be extended to low-efficiency halogen lamps,
Among other things, halogen lamps sold today are very similar, as a form external to the traditional incandescent bulbs that have known each other forever. It is true that the same light output, a halogen lamp consumes a little less than a traditional incandescent bulb and has a lifespan of about twice as long (2,000 hours), however, is to remember that to get what 'an intense white light halogen lamp must emit a minimum temperature of 250 ° C to allow the chemical reaction between iodine and tungsten necessary for its operation.
also the halogen lamp is a source of ultraviolet rays, harmful to the human eye and skin, as well as due to fading of the colors of illuminated objects. This phenomenon is partly due to the use of quartz instead of glass for the construction of the bulb. Quartz is in fact more resistant to high temperatures but inefficient to block ultraviolet rays. The partial shielding of this radiation is in fact putting a halogen lamp in front of the glass plate which also serves as a protection in case of accidental explosion of the vacuum.
In conclusion I would say that I think is a bit 'risky advertise the halogen lamps as "energy saving". On the box Furthermore, you can also see it as not "shine" from their point of view of energy class.
