Handling Halogen Light Bulbs Safely

Halogen bulbs (A) contain gas under pressure. Handling a bulb improperly could cause it to shatter into flying fragments. To avoid possible injury:

  • Turn light switch off and allow bulbs to cool before changing. Leave switch off until bulb change is done.
  • Wear eye protection.
  • Handle bulb by its base. Keep bulb oil free; wear gloves to avoid touching glass.
  • Do not drop or scratch bulb. Keep moisture away.
  • Place used bulb in the new bulb's carton and dispose of properly. Keep out of reach of children.
