Smashed halogen light bulb still works

Don't try this at home! The new GE Edison and Sylvania Daylight Plus light bulbs look and act like ordinary incandescent bulbs, but actually contain a halogen capsule inside -- so they will still work even if the outer glass shell is broken, as I rather dangerously prove in this video. The Sylvania in particular uses an extremely thick outer glass shell which is very difficult to break.

By the way, I highly recommend these bulbs. They are brighter than ordinary incandescent bulbs and last three times as long, without any of the disadvantages of compact fluorescent bulbs (slow turn-on and warm-up, radio interference, greenish tint, dangerous mercury contamination when broken, etc.).

@shamrocktheshamrock How?

[matthewtchernev123]

i have a question. if the outer shell is NOT broken. do you still need a napkin to protect the oils from your skin to the bulb. cause i have a bulb simular bulb like the other one.and i know halagon bulbs get extreamly hot and need to be prottected from the iols from your skin. please reply me to my question saying yes or no

[vwestlife]

@matthewtchernev123 No.

I know you only demanded me to answer "yes" or "no", but I will explain more anyway: Only the inner halogen bulb itself needs to be protected from skin oil and other contaminants. On these bulbs, the outer glass shell doesn't get any hotter than a standard incandescent bulb, so no special precautions are necessary when handling them.
