Certain light bulbs, including halogen bulbs, were banned from being sold in the U.S. in 2023 by federal regulation. New regulations that are pushing toward more energy-efficient methods of lighting and powering buildings say that lights must produce more light energy than they use. \
Halogen light bulbs produce illumination with electrical current that passes through a tungsten filament. This creates additional energy, which is an energy-inefficient design. \
