Drapes and Curtains

• Halogen lamps should be placed well away from drapes or curtains. These could catch fire if a breeze blows them onto the lamp.
  
  

Turn it Off

• Halogen lamps should be turned off when you leave the room for a period of time.
  
  

Tuck the Cord Away

• Avoid placing a halogen lamp or cord in a high traffic area. This will ensure that people will not trip and knock the lamp over.
  
  

Not in Children's Rooms

• Because of the heat they generate, halogen lamps can be dangerous for young children. Lower temperature lamps should be placed in children's playrooms and bedrooms.
  
  

Use the Correct Bulbs

• Read the instructions that come with the halogen lamp and make sure that you are using the size and wattage of bulb that is recommended for your lamp.
