Please log in for more thread options cheaper bulbs on ebay and other online stores. I see there are some with 24 degrees, 36 degrees, etc some with and without covers. What does that mean and what should i be looking at getting? Is there anything I should or should not look for when buying these things? These will be used more for accent lighting in a track. Thanks for the help in advance | |||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options intense spot illumination while a higher angle will have the light spread out for more even coverage. Auction 4418657689 includes a good diagram of how much the light spreads. A cover or lens would keep dust from getting into the reflector in dusty location, and make it easy to clean. I wonder if anyone has experience with the LED versions? I have been considering them as an incandescent replacement for dimmable lights that are on 24/7. Jeff | |||||||||||||||||||

Well that too;-) But ore importantly, UL now _requires_ that the 'quartz' envelope containing the filament be covered with protective, UV-absorbing glass in order for open-lamp luminaries to receive UL listing. http://www.pge.com/003_save_energy/003c_edu_train/pec/info_resource/pdf/Low_Voltage_Tungsten_Halogen_Lamps.pdf Too many fires from those infamous torchieres. http://sb.thehartford.com/reduce_risk/loss_library/Fire_Safety/Halogen_Torchiere_Lamps.pdf HTH ...
