Is it true that if you touch a cold halogen bulb with clean fingers you shorten its lifespan?
Yes ( if you touch the bulb with your fingers , clean it with alcohol )supplement. I believe the mechanism is that salts from the fingerprint will collect on the QUARTZ bulb envelope. The UV from the discharge will help the finger debris etch into the quartz, thus risking it fracturing due to unequal stresses.Because of higher operating temperatures and pressures, the bulb gets very hot in service, hence the use of quartz.

What happens when you touch a cold halogen light bulb with clean fingers?
Speaking from experience working with theatre lighting, it may shorten the life of the bulb or even cause immediate failure, even if your hands are relatively clean after freshly washing with soap. Usually, touching a cold halogen bulb--where even the smallest amount of oil from your skin is left on the bulb--can often cause the bulb to overheat when lit and then quickly burn out, or else it may shorten the life. Halogen bulbs burn much hotter than conventional incandescent bulbs, so the heat must be allowed to escape as designed. (ever felt the heat over a torchiere floor lamp, or seen it fry inscects?) Oil prevents the thin layer of glass from allowing heat to escape properly, so it can be affected by even the slightest amount of oil. Thus, if you touch a cold halogen bulb with your fingers, be sure to clean it gently & throughly with rubbing alcohol and a clean cloth before use.
