Halogen Lamp Holders
Halogen lamps normally operate at temperatures ranging between
250C and 350C. Consequently, depending on lamp
burning position, Halogen Lamp Holders are sometimes subjected to
temperatures of 200C. Special holders are necessary to endure
these elevated temperatures. Holders of ceramic construction are
recommended for use with halogen lamps rated at 50 watts and above.
Heat resistant phenolic plastic holders are acceptable for use with
halogen lamps rated at 35 watts and below. Since lead wires are also
subjected to extreme heat, silicone or teflon insulation is recommended
for a minimum length of 125 millimeters from the holder. This length of
wire is normally supplied with the holder.
