Default Halogen Lamp Bulb Question

Hello:

Have lamp that uses those Linear T Halogen bulbs of 150 W.

Lamp has literally been eating bulbs lately.
Not before this.

Have gone thru 3 new ones in about a week.

Anyone else experience this ?

Any thoughts on ?

Thanks,
Bob


The lamp socket is probably no good, I had one melt from arching , I
junked the lamp. Cheap sockets or dirt and moisture can cause the lamp
to arch and overheat ruining the bulb at the socket.
