- Remember that the bulbs of the lamps remain hot for about 20 minutes after switching off the lighting fixtures. Before starting work, make sure that the components have completely cooled down;
- The bulbs of halogen and xenon type lamps are filled with pressurized gas and may explode if shaken violently. Try to take such lamps only by the base and use safety glasses. Remember that when touching the bulb with bare fingers, grease stains remain on the glass, which leads to premature failure of the lamp as a result of overheating. Before installation, wipe the lamp bulb with alcohol;
- Always check the condition of the lamp bases and cartridge contacts, before installing the lamp, be sure to clean the contact surfaces, completely removing dirt and corrosion from them;
- Make sure that the replacement lamp exactly matches the failed lamp in terms of its electrical characteristics (supply voltage and power).
