A brazillion years ago, I was taught not to handle the bulbs used in projectors under the rationale that the oil from your hands ends up on the bulb, causing overheating and shortening the lifespan of the bulb.
I've generalized this to other hot bulbs such as the little 10, 20 and 50W halogens in common use.
It occurs to me that this may not be valid.
Thoughts?
