- Apparently they get so hot that the extra cooling from boiling off your
- finger grease and moisture can crack the bulb.
-
- But what I really want to know is why people want 1/2 KW bulbs in your house.
- We have some 300 W halogens on the kitchen ceiling and they're so bright I
- never turn them up more than half way. Other than that the largest bulb
- in the house is 75W and they're perfectly adequate
