Does this use a heating element or a halogen bulb?

No. There's no halogen bulb but it works great! I use it mostly for chicken.

takes halogen bulbs the ones included run very hot i think they are a fire danger. Use a bit lower wattage halogens can get at home depot any retail hardware store.

Yes it does! I use this for frogs so they do not need a heat lamp. It's a regular light fixture.

It takes a standard bulb. I bought a pair of these lamps, and they look absolutely lovely in my living room.

Honestly, I don't know the difference between xenon and halogen. It looks like halogen bulb though, also gets hot very quickly which exactly halogen does. With heat issue, my electrician told me to avoid halogen and I thought I did, but obviously they get hot and heat up bottom of upper cabinets. I don't know if I'm answering what you wanted to know, hope it helps!

It does not use an MR type bulb. It is a 12V 20W Halogen Bi-Pin G4 Base JC Type Light Bulb.

Not sure it matters. My halogen bulb failed within 2 months of purchase. I learned a lesson about halogen cookers right there. They are junk.

You can just reach in and change the bulb. We have it in living room and bedroom and have not noticed any heat. They look great.

Quite minimal. I also have a halogen lamp and it produces much more heat. Hope this helps!

We use a standard long life 60 watt incandescent bulb which lasts a long time but a compact flourescent would probably work OK. Don't use halogen type bulbs, they generate too much heat.

LED bulbs are more energy efficient than halogen bulbs, and they definitely don't produce the heat that halogen bulbs do. I just purchased 3 of these bulbs last week to replace the halogen bulbs in our under cabinet track lights over the sink, and I love these bulbs. And I have to say that these bulbs are brighter than the bulbs I replaced. I was very impressed with these.

Hello Keith, In my opinion, using the lamp for lighting with an indoor water feature, this bulb out performs the halogen. Thought it might be lacking, could not have been more wrong . Better, more eye pleasing color, aggressive brightness output, no heat by comparison, much less electricity. Would never go back to a halogen for myself. I have a great deal of experience in many light sources, this lamp for me exceeds expectations, very satisfied. Hope your experience matches mine. Best of success in lighting.

It is, I believe a halogen. I have very good success with 1000bulbs.com I order all the bulbs I use in my business from them and they are comparatively less expensive.

You can double-check on line of course, but since a halogen bulb has a filament I'd call it an incandescent bulb and wouldn'tbe deterred from using the unit as long as the wattage is OK.

If the light from the halogen oven is not coming on then the lamp needs replaced.If the light is coming on, check your temperature gauge and make sure you pre-heat it just like a oven.It is really a healthy way of eating and your food will taste better.

Use a LED bulb instead of halogen. Way too much energy is produced causing large amounts of heat.

They are Halogen; so they get pretty hot. I use them for interior lighting in an RV. They each have a glass cover due to the heat.
