In general, can I replace a regular halogen bulb with the newer xenon bulb?

-TIA

The mini bi pin type are interchangeable. Just be sure to get the same
voltage. The xenon lamps are considerably cooler

I don't know the answer to this. Except to comment that from a chemists
point of view, Xenon is one of the halogens. The others include helium and
neon. And argon.

I'm still trying to figure out how you directly replace a filament
(halogen) lamp with a gas discharge lamp (xenon), circuit is a little
different. I could see krypton, but that's more a flashlight bulb.
