Quartz Halogen 
vs. Incandescent
 
Lighting
Both operate on the same
 
principle:
Electric 
current passes through a 
thin 
tungsten
 
metal
filament 
causing 
it to 
heat white hot and 
emit
 
light
However, quartz halogen lamps encase the
filament in a quartz casing filled with halogen gas.
This allows these bulbs 
to 
run hotter, brighter 
and
whiter

Electric
 
Safety
How 
to 
find the draw on a
 
circuit
Draw (amperage) = 
total light 
wattage (watts) /
 
voltage
e.g. 
draw 
= 
1000 watts 
/ 
120 
volts 
= 
8.3
 
amps
In 
North America, 120V 
is the
 
standard
Most households 
have 
15amp
 
circuits
Using 
this formula 
do not load a circuit more than 80%
 
of
its
 
maximum
-
 
e.g. most 
household 
circuits are rated at 
15
 
amps:
» 
15 amps 
x 
80% 
safety factor 
= 
12
 
amps
» 
(do 
not 
use more 
than 12
 
amps)
