I'm surprised to hear of the problems with halogen lamps that haven't been used for a while. We had many halogen lamps in instruments used for film work, and between jobs they often would be in their cases for weeks or even months. And who knows how long after they were manufactured they made it through the supply chain and to a user? I've never had a problem with them, and we used no dimmers--just turn 'em on when you needed them. Never heard of "warming up" or warming current." Could this problem be an issue with the halogen cycle not "liking" extended periods of very low voltage?
