Par38 Halogen Bulb: Maximize Illumination At Affordable Prices
It is estimated that lighting is responsible for emitting significant amount of carbon dioxide in the environment. In fact, it actually consumes as much as 19 percent of electricity that is generated throughout the world. As if this figure is not a big enough problem, another issue lies in how lighting electricity is generated. A lot of electricity is generated from using coal and it accounts for about 39% of the world's total CO2 emissions. By 2030 (EIA 2007), this figure is expected to reach 43%.
There is a lot of energy that can be saved by simply switching to an energy efficient Par38 halogen bulb or other energy efficient lighting technology such as compact fluorescent or LED. These are well-known alternatives for high wattage direct illumination and spot lighting needs. The "Par" is an abbreviation of parabolic aluminized reflector, a material that is wrapped around the lamp. There are a lot of choices and alternatives if you are interested in buying a Par 38 halogen bulb.
Energy-Efficient and Long-Lasting
The white spectrum produced by the Par38 halogen bulb is perfect for anyone who needs direct illumination. This kind of bulb also has longer lifespan and produces brighter lighting compared to an incandescent source. It also maximizes the amount of energy it utilizes by providing more illumination per watt so efficiency is achieved. Recently, technology has improved to create a PAR38 Halogen that emits the same lumens at a fraction of the wattage consumption.
Certain types of lighting become dull or faded over time since it can no longer provide optimum performance. But you don't need to worry about this issue if you use Par38 halogen bulb because it is specifically designed to give maximum efficiency throughout its lifetime. This option is available in 12 volt size as well as 120 volt size. A step-down transformer is required if you want to lower the voltage.
Take note that because Par38 halogen bulbs tend to get hotter compared to ordinary halogen lighting, it is not recommended for usage in ceilings that are lower than 8 feet. There should also be enough distance from the bulb to a temperature-sensitive item if it is being showcased. Otherwise, Par38 halogen bulb is safe, energy-efficient, and affordable for a variety of needs.
Be sure to check a reputable store to find a Par38 halogen bulb that is best suited for your needs. It is not difficult to find a good selection if you visit an established lighting store. In fact, the amount of available choices can be confusing because everything is a good deal. For any questions or queries, be sure to contact the company's support staff to get individual answers. Each person, organization, or government agency has a unique need. Ask the expert for advice to get the best Par38 halogen bulb.

Should I be concern for 20 watt halogen?
I have a Fluval Edge Aquarium. Normally, I bought it in stock with MR11 10 watt 12v. The bulb died, so I bought a new one, but it's 20 watt. While I was replacing the bulb, I saw a noted on the fluval edge: 12v 10 watts max. Should I be concern? Will it burn the sockets?
You should always follow the instructions for a manufacturer's light bulb rating. The materials that they make the socket with have only been safe tested to their rating and exceeding these ratings for a long period of time will eventually cause problems with the socket (melting, decomposition, etc.)
I have often had this problem when changing out regular light bulbs for my customers. They will often exceed the 40w or 60w maximum on their light fixtures so that the bulb base eventually decomposes and adheres to the light bulb base. In those cases, I usually have to replace the whole light socket.
Hope this helps!

California Phasing Out 100-Watt Incandescents Early
California is ordering 100-watt incandescent light bulbs off store shelves starting Jan. 1 in an energy-saving move. For now at the Home Depot in Redding, Calif., you can still find incandescents among the aisles. Compact fluorescent (CFL), halogen and light-emitting diode (LED) light bulbs -- the energy-efficient choices -- are most common, but some incandescent light bulbs still linger.
On Jan. 1, the 100-watt incandescent light bulb will start to be phased out in California. By the beginning of 2012, they are expected to be completely gone from store shelves. Three years ago, the federal Energy Independence and Security Act was enacted to phase out the incandescent light bulb by 2014. Australia, Ireland and Cuba have banned the bulb while many other countries are phasing them out.
California is starting its phase-out a year early because of state regulations to reduce energy consumption. Specialty lights that use less than 40 watts and more than 150 watts such as appliance lamps and three-way bulbs will not initially be banned, but will later be required to use less energy.
With compact fluorescent light bulbs now dominating the energy efficient home light bulb market, the main concern is mercury. Because of the mercury content, fluorescent lights must be recycled. The mercury content in a single CFL is negligible, but if they are not recycled then millions and billions of them in landfills would absolutely be dangerous.
As the 100-watt incandescent bulb fades, the energy-efficient 72-watt bulb will be the highest replacement with a range of 1,490-2,600 lumens and a minimum life of 1,000 hours. If you replace 10 60-watt incandescent bulbs with 10 14-watt CFLs, for example, you can save $34 in energy bills in a year.
Companies such as Philips have manufactured incandescent bulbs with 30 percent improved energy efficiency mandated by law and will remain on the market during the phase out, as the goal of the legislation is not to simply remove all incandescents, but to force manufacturers to produce more efficient versions.
