Is it dangerous to leave a halogen light bulb on for several hours?
PROVIDED * that the power of a halogen light bulb is not more than the maximum power rating of its lamp holder or light fitting AND * that lamp holder or light fitting is of a type suitable for its location and application to provide light, it should not be dangerous to leave a halogen light bulb "on" for several hours. In other words if a light fitting is rated at 150 Watts maximum the rated power of the halogen bulb used in that fitting must never exceed 150 Watts. As for any light bulb, if it were too powerful for its lamp holder or light fitting, there would be a serious risk of overheating. In other words, if a light fitting is rated at 100 Watts maximum and a halogen bulb rated at 150 Watts is used in it, there will be a serious risk of overheating which would lead to: * premature bulb failure as the least consequence and * catching on fire - leading to a house fire - as the worst consequence. As for any light bulb within any overall long period of time, if it were left on for a greater rather than a lesser percentage of that time, there would be two key consequences: * it would reach its rated service lifetime more quickly and would therefore have to be replaced more often during that overall long period of time; * it would consume more electricity and would therefore cost more money to run during that overall long period of time.
How do you replace a halogen 150 watt tube bulb for a ceiling fan light. I can't remove the old bulb. It's is a tube asbout 4 inches long?

Can you put fluorescent tubes on a dimmer switch?
Yes, as long as it is just incandescent bulb lighting connected to the track. If there is a transformer between the voltage source from the track and the light bulb (e.g. low voltage quartz bulbs) then these fixtures can not be dimmed.
How long does it take to burn one kilowatt?
It will last you a very long time depending on what you use it on. A light bulb will last you until it burns out. It is equal to what the ENIAC used.
What is the highest watt light bulb?
For a standard household incandescent it is 200w. Mogul incandescents can reach 3-500w depending. Halogen tubes typically reach 500w. Sodium-halide , high pressure sodium , Mercury vapor , and Arc lamps can reach into the thousands of watts but are not usually used in a household setting.

Do halogen bulbs save energy and money?
Halogen light bulbs are more efficient on energy and last twice as long as a regular light bulb thus saving you money. After researching several websites on energy it is stated that a regular light bulb costs $9.49 for 1460 hours of use whereas a halogen light for the same amount of hours costs $8.76.
