One more thing: if you look at a halogen lamp crosseyed the

How about a 1000W one:

Phallus'n emanated the following from his bunghole:


They are real pics published by folk who make and sell the lamps.


General Electric is one of the largest manufacturers of all kinds of
lighting on the planet. Strangely, most folks who are not confined to
an insane asylum would believe technical information from General
Electric over some two-bit self aggrandized "technician" such as
yourself.

This is what General Electric says about the subject:

"Unlike incandescent rough service or vibration service lamps, Halogen
and HIR lamps are not equipped with filament supports because they
would result in the de-rating of the life and lumens, and thusly defeat
the purpose of providing extremely long life, energy savings and high
lumen output. These features differentiate Halogen and HIR lamps from
similar incandescent counterparts. However, these high performance
lamps require more consideration and education when installing and
aiming them."

Anyone who ever tried to use halogen lamps in portable clamp lights
know they will be lucky to survive one minor bump, whereas even
conventional incandescent lamps will survive several, and rough service
incandescent lamps are extraordinarily tough.

GE says your wrong Phil.

Phil certainly has his problems but he's right on this one.

Okay, that's two that think they're right and General Electric is wrong.
Not sure if that constitutes a consensus or not...

Hehehe......

AFAIK: GE are still making jet engines - I think it was probably
Westinghouse that had to give it up as a bad job.
