What are Halogen Infrared light bulbs?
A. Halogen Infrared or HIR lamps retain all of the benefits of standard halogen but are even more efficient. Halogen-IR uses a high-temperature reflective film to coat the inner lamp and trap wasted invisible infrared light within it. This redirected infrared heats the filament to produce more visible light, resulting in efficiency gains over standard halogen lamps of over 40%. You get the same crisp white light, beam control, and compactness of standard halogen.
