Simple incandescent lamps begin to yield the place halogen. It serves as the last much longer than the usual, four times, in which their popularity is manifested. They are designed to connect from a 220 volt network and at low voltage at 6, 12, 24 volts. Each type of lamps has both positive and negative sides, which we will consider, as well as the connection process.

Let's study what a halogen lamp is. In these lamps, the flask is filled with pairs of halogen - iodine or bromine. Shooting such sources are twice as brighter, and the flask is not made of ordinary glass, but from quartz. This material is withstanding a much greater temperature than ordinary glass.

With the connection of halogen lamps with a voltage of 220 in questions, it does not occur. They are connected in parallel, as well as conventional incandescent lamps. The disadvantage of this type of lamp will be an increased temperature mode, so it is recommended to install them on non-ignite surfaces, providing heat dissipation. In working with the material that can be mounted, it is better to use low-voltage lamps.

Low-voltage lamps are shining as bright as simple, with normal voltage, but they are more economical. In addition, they are much safer in operation. Such lamps are recommended to put in bathrooms or other rooms where high humidity is present. Almost the only disadvantage of low-voltage lamps is that it is necessary to install a transformer for their work, which lowers the voltage from 220 V to 12 V. To connect the lamps, it is better to use electronic, or as they are also called a pulse transformer. It is much more compact than electromagnetic transformers, has a stabilizer and is almost not heated. In these modern products embed protection against KZ and a system of smooth launch launch, thereby extending the life of the lamps.

Connect the lamps with halogen lamps are quite simple. A group of lamps connects in parallel and connects to the transformer. From the camshaft, the phase wire is allowed to turn on the transformer to the switch, and then plug the wire from the switch to the transformer. Zero cable run right from the box to the transformer. If you have several groups of lamps with transformers, then the wire connecting them will be conducted from the distribution, and do not connect them with twists. Transformer Put a power of 250 W - this is the most optimal value. The wire that comes from the transformer to the lamps, put no more than two meters, and then the current losses arise, and the brightness with which the lamps shine will drop. Do not put a transformer near the heat source to avoid overheating.
Thus, the installation of halogen lamps is not a very complicated procedure if it is pretable to understand everything well.
