Halogen lights are safe for indoor use but it is required that they be in a glass shield. They omit more UV rays then your standard light bulb so you need to be protected.

Can you use a quartz halegen bulb for your video projector?

Video projectors use specialist high output lamps with driver electronics to match the lamp. Almost all of them use proprietary lamps that don't use quartz halogen technology. Therefore, no standard halogen bulb will operate in them. There have been a handful of projectors that used the same lamps as 35mm slide projectors.

Some little halogen lamps have different pin connectors instead of the regular screw base in incandescent light bulbs because the former make for easy and quicker removal of the bulb from the light socket. Also, halogen lamps and some LED bulbs for indoor home illumination have a different connection than the regular incandescent bulbs because the former become very hot when in use and thus are made with special high-temperature sockets so that the bulb won't damage easily.


What type of lighting to use inside a home?

You can use incandescent, fluorescent or halogen lighting fixtures meant for indoor use inside a home. For example, you can purchase incandescent wall lights that are connected to a dimmer switch with incandescent lamping. Fluorescent lights might be in models of ceiling lights, chandeliers and pendant lights. Fluorescent lights are energy efficient lighting choices. Halogen lamps are used in some recessed lighting for indoor use. Floor lamps may also use halogen bulbs. Read carefully to see what type of indoor lighting can withstand damp settings such as the bathroom.


What is a halogen microwave?

There is no halogen microwave. There is a halogen microwave oven bulb. (The technical term for a "bulb" is a lamp.) Some microwave ovens use a halogen lamp to light up the oven cavity. Replacing them is similar to replacing a "regular" incandescent lamp, except that when halogen lamps are being replaced, it is critical not to touch the lamp with bare fingers. Leaving skin oils on a halogen lamp shortens the lamp life and can set up a dangerous situation where the lamp might overheat.
