Default Does halogen bulb last longer if not "dimmmed"?

It's possible that you touched the bulb when you
replaced it, causing it to burn out prematurely so
you had to replace it again. Did you touch it this
time?


Wouldn't a fingerprint-induced failure take the form of the quartz envelope
breaking or shattering as opposed to the bulb simply burning out?
