Premature halogen bulb failure
wrote in message
...
These are 40W Wagner 795 halogen bulbs used in an automotive light
bar. They failed prematurely. We were very careful installing them
that they were never touched by hand. So I have some questions:
1. Why is it that touching halogen bulbs can decrease their life? This
is a sealed bulb.
2. Should we clean them with 99% isopropyl before installing them?
3. Does anyone have any ideas as to why these failed prematurely?
