These fashionable lamps produce a clean,
intense white light, but they also operate
at much higher temperatures than a standard
incandescent light bulb. The National
Electric Safety Foundation suggests that
you:
Never place a halogen floor lamp
where it could come in contact with
draperies, clothing or other combustible
materials.
Keep your halogen lamp and its cord
away from traffic areas, where it could
be easily tipped over.
Turn the lamp off whenever you leave
the room for an extended period of time.
Carefully read all instructions and
warnings that accompany the lamp for
these and other important safety tips.
