There are many types of halogen lamps:-
Reflector Halogen Lamps – including MR11, MR16 and GU10 http://lightingpro.com.au/catalog/index.php?cPath=26_28
Linear Halogen Lamps – often used in security and outdoor lighting

Halogen Lamps are still quite an inefficient lamp when looking at lumen output per watt. They are slightly more efficient than standard incandescent lamps but a long way short of being as efficient as fluorescent and compact fluorescent technology. At the present time halogen lamps will not be affected by the Australia ban on incandescent lamps but may be included in future bans due to their relative inefficiency.
The Halogen Lamp is a type of incandescent lamp. It has a tungsten filament just like the standard GLS incandescent globe, however the bulb is filled with halogen gas. When an incandescent lamp (one which produces light by heating a tungsten filament) operates, tungsten from the filament is evaporated into the gas of the bulb and deposited on the glass wall. The bulb "burns out" when enough tungsten has evaporated from the filament so that electricity can no longer be conducted across it.
The halogen gas in a halogen lamp carries the evaporated tungsten particles back to the filament and re-deposits them. This gives the lamp a longer life than regular incandescent lamps and provides for a cleaner bulb wall for light to shine through. Life of any incandescent lamp including halogen lamps is limited by the state of the filament which are also affected by things like switching cycles ( the amount of times you turn on and off a bulb) and also the voltage that the lamp is receiving.
Many people write to me and ask is there a halogen lamp that is an energy saver. There is one style of energy saving halogen lamp manufactured by Osram called an IRC (Infra Red Coated) which offers you a 30% more light which means you can use a lamp that consumes 30% less power and achieve the same light outputs. At present these are available in MR16 and Bi Pins. Check out the MR16 IRC halogen lamps here:
