Default Running at half the voltage

I'm guessing yes. A friend had halogen lamps on a dimmer, which
he dimmed only slightly -- and they burned out pretty quickly.
The halogen cycle requires a very high temperature. Ergo...


If there's almost no filament evaporation, who cares if the halogen
cycle isn't working? It's not needed. And it will work if full line
voltage is applied occasionally.


Does anyone ACTUALLY READ WHAT IS POSTED? And THINK about it?



** John has done that and written an excellent reply.
How about YOU read it and THINK about it --
instead of childishly stamping your stupid fat feet all over the place.


If you'd been paying attention, you'd have seen that his most-recent remark
(above), though correct /out of context/, has nothing to do with the issue
at hand.
