Dimming increases incandescent lamp life, and halogen lamps are
incandescent lamps. Lutron test data suggests that all halogen lamps
will have an expected lamp life similar to that of other incandescent
(non power factor corrected) lamps when dimmed, i.e. a halogen lamp
dimmed 25% has a life extension of about four times that of a
non-dimmed lamp.
Do Lutron dimmers increase halogen lamp life?
