Halogen bulb care
Halogen bulbs run hot and the glass is sensitive to skin oils. Hold the bulb by its base when fitting it, and let the housing cool before reaching in. Oil left on the glass can create hot spots that shorten bulb life, so a clean cloth is worth keeping near the work area.
Blue-coated halogen bulbs trade some light output for color. That makes them better suited to dress-up use than to heavy fog duty in poor weather, where a clear bulb gives more usable light. Inspect the base and the socket contacts for discoloration when changing bulbs, since heat-damaged contacts cause flicker and dim output. If a bulb keeps burning out, look at the wiring voltage and the connector before blaming the bulb itself.
- Replace both bulbs together if they are used as a pair
- Keep spare bulbs of the same base type on hand
- Check that the socket clips hold the bulb firmly
