if used with dimmers, halogen bulbs can also like incandescent light, and light and shade increase or decrease in process is very stable. The halogen bulbs dim, can make the life extension, thus more energy efficient. And its small size also makes halogen bulbs projection lamp lighting suitable for the activity type, application scope is more extensive.

the use of LED lights have broad prospects for development, its popularity just around the corner. However the LED lighting can't be 360 degrees, and form the shadow, so after they primarily use parallel light source. LED the life of the tens of thousands of hours, light energy utilization rate is extremely high, and has the function of waterproof and mechanical collision. We have enough use of looking forward to the advent of the era of LED lights. Leo
