Open Fixture Warning
Unless otherwise stated, all non-enclosed halogen
lamps carry the following warning, “A suitable protective
shield, screening technique, or both must be used to
protect people and surroundings from the possibility of a
lamp shattering and from possible ultraviolet radiation”.
Enclosed halogen lamps include PAR and BR lamps, “A”,
T10 Double Envelope, and BT15 lamps, Lensed MR11 and
MR16 lamps, and BallLites.

Rated Life
There is a common misconception that the “Rated Life”
of a halogen lamp is a measure of how long the lamp
should burn, this is not true. The rated life of a lamp is
the point where 50% of the bulbs have burned out,
and 50% are still burning, under laboratory conditions.
For example, the S4968 (90PAR/CAP/FL) is rated at 2500
hours, this means, some will burn out at 1250 hours, some
will last 3750 hours, but ½ will still be burning at 2500
hours, under laboratory conditions. Since halogen PAR
lamps are notoriously susceptible to vibration related
failures, their rated life my not be accurate in real life
circumstances, including high vibration areas such as
industrial applications.
