So, perhaps theatre halogen bulbs are designed to be dimmed?


** Perhaps your fat arse is on fire ?

Ever think of that?



"Halogen lamps are designed to operate at very high temperatures to
ensure optimal performance. Dimming at above 60% of the rated volts can
be done. It is recommended to revert to full brightness for one minute
prior to switching the lamps off."


** Drivel, not real information.


In other words do not run them above 60% of rated line voltage for
extended times without heating/running them at 100% for one minute prior
to turning off. I am SURE everyone will do that!


** The false warning is about running halogen BELOW 60% rated voltage.

60% equates to about 10 to 15% of normal light output which is very dim.


BTW:

Ever see or use a halogen down light?

Standard practice is to run them off dimmers at any level you like.

Googling finds you every piece of misinformation that ever existed.
