Halogen lamps run hotter than conventional incandescents, and as a result of their hotter filaments, emit a whiter light with more of the light in the visible range, and less in the infrared. A typical 50W halogen emits between 800 and 950 lumens.


In contrast, a fluorescent lamp produces more of its output as light instead of heat. Therefore a 13W compact fluorescent light emits the same number of lumens, while an 11-13W LED lamp emits the same 800 lumens (though this is rapidly improving)
