Halogen Lamps

Halogen is a gas that burns very hot.  Halogen lamps produce more light with less wattage (energy consumption) than standard incandescent lamps. Halogen lamps are made with quartz glass to withstand the heat. It is important not to touch the glass with your fingers.  The oils from your skin will cause early burn out.  If you do touch the glass, simply wipe the lamp with a soft cloth and rubbing alcohol.
