A small amount of tungsten diiodide has low theoretical toxicity and will not harm health.

There are tungsten vapor, iodine vapor, tungsten iodide gas and inert gas in the iodine tungsten lamp.

A tungsten iodide lamp is a kind of tungsten lamp filled with the halogen element iodine and belongs to a new generation of incandescent lamps In an iodine-tungsten lamp, the evaporation of iodine-tungsten circulating tungsten is effectively suppressed, and the problem of blackening glass shell is solved.Iodine tungsten lamp as a thermal radiation source has some potential safety hazards, so there are corresponding requirements and precautions for its installation and use.

The tungsten filament of a tungsten iodine lamp is a conductor and can radiate visible light. A tungsten iodine lamp is a new type of electric light source, the main components are the internal tungsten filament and the external glass shell. Under the action of electric current, the spiral tungsten filament continuously gathers heat, making the temperature of the filament reach over 2000℃. Microscopically, the tungsten atom's electrons outside the nucleus are excited by heat to a high-energy state, to maintain stability and fall back to a low-energy state, the energy difference in the form of photons released, macroscopically visible luminescence phenomenon.
