Thirdly, halogen lamps are smaller in size and lighter in weight. See Figure 8.6. This allows the design and use of smaller lightweight luminaires. It provides greater mounting flexibility when using single-ended lamps. Luminaires can be designed to provide better control of light - more light can be directed where it is needed.

Basic Halogen Lamp Types The common types of halogen lamps are:

• Linear (sometimes called double-ended)
• Single-ended
• Capsule (single-ended but no outer bulb)
• PAR (capsule contained in PAR shape bulb)
• Low Voltage Reflector (Precise lamps)
