You will need to check with the manufacturer of the bulb for that answer. In any case, please be sure that the halogen bulb does not exceed the maximum incandescent wattage allowed for that fixture. Also, due to the high heat generated by halogen bulbs, some discoloration and possible heat damage may occur to the adjacent wall surface. Be sure not to have flammable materials near halogen lamps.
