Default What is it with halogen lamps?

They are so on and off! I bought a ceiling light for my daughter's
bedroom with around 6 halogen (20w) in it. When you switch it on, you
are lucky if 4 of them come on. If you fiddle with the rest they
usually come on eventually, but once switched off, you are back to the
same scenario with at least two not working when you flick the switch.
In the bathroom I have 2 over the wash basin. One is fine, rock solid,
the other comes on if it feels like it.
Can anyone explain why this is to me?
is there an answer?
Sooooooo tedious. I think I'll go back to a single 150 w bulb till
they are impossible to find.
