Halogen lamps are nothing but incandescent lamps, in a Halogen
(florene/chlorene/other halogenic gas), rather than in a vacuum.
(at least to my understanding)-- NOT to be confused with the R.F.
excited (and they excite the hams!) lamps that have been disgussed.
Just HOW many articles have you seen in ham publications about
removeing Halogen Headlamps in cars to reduce interference?

I have dozens of 120V halogens in my home. There is no interference of any

that's what generates the interference. Take a portable AM radio along when
buying such lights and check for interference from the power supply before
buying.
