One more thing: if you look at a halogen lamp crosseyed the filament will
fail from the shock of your stare.. The filaments are not supported as
they are in a standard incandescent lamp so they must not be subject to
shock or vibration.



** See pics of 150W halogen tube lamps:

How about a 1000W one:

Note how the filament passes over a glass support bridge at the top of the small envelope. Most of the filament is coiled but the section over the bridge is not.
