Halogen lamp

Belongs to:
Illumination
Synonyms:
Halogen lamps, halogen bulbs
Description:

Halide lamps are a special form of electric bulbs that consist of a small quarz glass tube with the halogen iodine. In contrast to conventional electric bulbs, halide lamps emit a whither light.

Similar to conventional electric bulbs, halide lamps are equally planned to be phased-out according to an EU-regulation by 2016.

Type of field:
electric and magnetic

Measurements (acc. to literature)

Measurand Value Feature Remarks
electric field strength 1.407 kV/m (maximum, measured) - at the surface of the lamp at 50 Hz [1]
electric field strength 2.153 kV/m (maximum, measured) - at the surface of the lamp at 50 Hz [1]
magnetic flux density 0.3 µT (measured) - at a distance of 1 m with the supply lines under the ceiling [2]
magnetic flux density 148 µT (maximum, measured) - at the surface of the lamp at 50 Hz [3]
magnetic flux density 229 µT (maximum, measured) - at the surface of the lamp at 50 Hz [3]
