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.

Is it normal for a 3-way dimmer to reduce the maximum brightness of a halogen light fixture?
Not really. This usually occurs when the dimmer switch is incompatible with the type of lamp being used or is going bad. If you've recently replaced the switch then check to see if the switch you used is suitable for use with halogen lamps. Halogen lamps draw more current than nomal incandescent lamps and if your switch was not made for use with this type of lamp you are creating an unsafe condition and a potential fire hazzard.
What wattage of bulb do most desk lamps use?
Lamps use whatever voltage they are designed to run on. If the question as asking about the energy used, this is measured in watts. Watts are calculated as: W (watts) = V (volts) x I (amps) which is the product of the voltage and the current drawn.
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. They were never regarded as being bright enough and the few models that appeared were removed from sale in a short space of time.
Less then a few present of the energy supplied to 100w lamp appears in the form of visible light What happens to rest of it What could be done to increase this percentage?
The remaining energy is radiated as heat. Making the filament hotter should increase the percentage of visible light. I believe some lamps (like halogen lamps) do this. But the real solution is to use other technologies - like fluorescent lights, or LEDs.The remaining energy is radiated as heat.

Are Himalayan Salt Lamps safe to use around children?
Yes Himalayan Salt Lamps are safe to use around children. In fact they have been know to reduce symptone of HDHD in children after only a short amount of exposure.
Which light bulb uses more energy?
Incandescent and halogen light bulbs use more energy than compact fluorescent lights and LED lights. Fluorescent lamps with magnetic ballasts use more energy than fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts.
Why home little halogen lamps have a different pin connectors instead of the regular screw base in incandescent Why the halogen lamps and some led bulbs for indoor home illumination have a differe?
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.
Which type of office desk lamp creates the least glare?
Made for office lamps are made to have the glare reduced for office use.
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.
Is it more energy efficient to use lamps?
It is not the decision between lamps and ceiling lights that determine energy efficiency, but it is the bulb that matters. Try to use eco-safe lightbulbs to save energy.
