In an outdoor application, there are different considerations that come into play, as compared to selecting lighting options for the indoors of your home. Because halogen light bulbs operate in a different manner than incandescents and fluorescents, they are ideal for use in the outdoors, providing ample lighting while still offering energy savings over other options. With a regular incandescent light bulb, the tungsten filament slowly evaporates from the heat of the electrical current, eventually causing the light bulb to burn out. Halogen light bulbs have a quartz envelope around the filament that along with the use of halogen gas causes the evaporating tungsten to redeposit onto the filament, extending the lifespan of the bulb.
