A halogen light bulb or halogen lamp is a type of incandescent lamp that utilizes halogen gas to increase both light output and rated life. Halogen lamps are known for their high efficiency, quality of light, and high rated life in comparison to standard incandescent lamps or bulbs. The history of the halogen lamp mirrors that of the incandescent lamp. The use of chlorine to prevent blackening of lamps was patented in 1882, and general Electric patented the first commercially viable halogen lamp in 1959. At this time, the lamp used iodine as the halogen gas.

A circuit breaker is an electrical switch that is automatically operated and produced to act as a shield for an electrical circuit from damage. The damage can be caused by excess current from an overload or short circuit. Basically the basic function of a circuit breaker is to interrupt current flow after a fault is detected. But when operating a circuit breaker, it is important to maintain the accessories that are essential for its function. Electrically operated power circuit breakers can use many different accessories placed inside the breaker for remote indication and automatic operation. For an in depth look at different accessory parts, read the article below.
