Default Running at half the voltage

To put it a bit more simply...

A /slight/ reduction in voltage will cause a halogen lamp to burn out
prematurely, because the bulb doesn't get hot enough to initiate the
"recycling" process -- but the filament is still extremely hot.

Half voltage is a huge drop. You should have no problems.
