Lamp Life Guide
Halogen Lamp Information.
Distances
When installing them, ensure that the distance between the lamps and the surface to be lit isadequate to prevent the temperature of the surface exceeding 95 degrees C. Always respect the lamp manufacturer's recommended distances. Ensure that no decorative element is closer than the indicated minimum limit (e.g. mobile supports, curtains, etc.). The corresponding values should be respected for lamps intended to radiate light at variousangles (see table below).
| Lamp - 12 volt | Beam Angle | Distance (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| 20w | 12° | 50 |
| 20w | 36° | 50 |
| 50w | 8° | 150 |
| 50w | 24° | 80 |
| 50w | 38° | 50 |
Operational life
The operational life of a low voltage incandescent halogen lamp depends on the voltage applied to the lamp.
Light level variations
The light from low voltage incandescent halogen lamps may be varied to an infinite degree. When selecting a light dimmer, ensure that it is suitable for the inductiveload (use only light dimmers for low voltage halogen lamps).
