I will assume you're referring to lighting of some type. A halogen in itself is one of a group of gases in the periodic table of the elements from chemistry. A halogen light is one where the lamp(bulb) itself is filled with a halogen gas, and when electricity is applied the gas is excited and it glows to produce light.

It is a type of light, elongated like a tube. It has halogen gas inside that produces a certain spectrum of light that some pets need indoors like in an aquarium. If the fish don't get enough of this spectrum "strength" they cannot survive. I'm no expert on this matter, hope it helps some.

The halogens are the group of elements with one electron missing, so they go right before the noble gases. Examples include fluorine and chlorine, among other less common ones.

Halogen, as in lights, means that it uses a chemically ignited gas that does not ever fade color.

It implies the style of gasoline that say case in point a "mild bulb" might use. in case you spend slightly greater money on the bulb you may get a Halogen bulb as a replace of a prevalent "Incandescent". It supplies out greater mild consistent with watt and it lasts longer and is greater appropriate on the eyes. observe once I say "gasoline". i do no longer mean "gasoline" or "gasoline". gasoline consequently describes a substance of "count" that's in a "gaseous" style of state. case in point, liquid, good, and gasoline. that are the three important varieties of count. there's a fourth "Plasma" even even though it quite is not frequently got here upon in the international.

"Halogen" is a lighting technology. Search for that word on Wikipedia.org.

Halogens are extremely unreactive elements which are found in most poisons, such as mustard gas.
