Which precaution applies when handling a halogen bulb?

  • A.None
  • B.Fit only when cold, since a hot bulb may shatter if it is subjected to any mechanical shock during the replacement
  • C.Avoid touching the quartz envelope with bare fingers
  • D.Handle only by the envelope, which is the strongest part of the bulb and is designed to be gripped during fitting

Answer: C

Skin oils create a hot spot on the quartz that devitrifies and cracks it, so the bulb is held by its base. Allowing a bulb to cool genuinely is sensible, which makes the last option a real if lesser precaution. Cleaning with alcohol rescues a touched bulb. Naming the cost of a choice alongside its benefit is what turns a fact into a design decision. Most errors here come from carrying across a result from a neighbouring case where it does not hold.
