But the thing is you are really not supposed to din halogen lamps because
then the halogen is not sufficiently activated to allow the filament to
operate in the higher range, which is the whole idea of halogen lamps.

Dimmed halogen bulbs last just fine - stage lighting has used dimmers and halogen lamps together for decades and get expected life out of them.

Hint, when dimmed the filament is cooler and does not NEED the " halogen cycle " to extend its life.
