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


Been there, done that......
It seems that once the socket is defective, they eat bulbs.
Apparently they arc and burn up the bulb.

I have had at least 4 fixtures do this. I just replaced them.
A new socket will fix it too, but often a new fixture is cheaper.
