SOS Notes About BAB Bulb Removal and Replacement:
When
replacing a BAB lamp always wait for the lamp to cool down within the
fixture before removing it. Halogen lamps get extremely hot and can
cause severe burning if touched while in operation or immediately
afterward. Take the lamp out by using a cloth that provides some
insulation from the heat. When removing an BAB from the fixture get as
close as possible to the base before removing from the socket. Take
extra care when you take the new bulb out of the packaging and do not
touch the glass bulb itself. Touching the 'reflector" will not cause
any performance issues. It is a good idea to use gloves or a cloth to
insert the lamp into the BAB socket. The oil from your skin makes the
glass of the bulb itself super heat and causes early BAB lamp failure.
