All the advance made in illuminating engineering has been made by utilizing higher and higher temperatures. Attempts at producing light by the electric current were made by heating wire conductors to a high temperature, and the first attempt at an incandescent lamp was with a platinum wire; but plat

โฆ Synopsis
Halogen lamps have been on the market for some time; they are replacing the conventional lamp in many fields except general service (domestic) applications. Their relatively small
bulbs contain small amounts of halogen in addition to an inert gas. The mode of action of the iodine lamp, which depends on the presence of traces of oxygen, has been elucidated. Tungsten evaporating from the filament is returned to it by a cyclic process involving a tungsten oxide and W02I2. No tungsten is ever deposited on the bulb wall of such a lamp. A regenerative cycle in which the vaporized tungsten is deposited on the hottest (and hence most vulnerable) parts of the filament can, in principle, be realized by the use of fluorine compounds.
