Phosphoric acid is used to clean salt water chlorination elements. It works very well to shift calcium deposits. I don't drink Coke™. So, "we" do not drink it. -- Trevor Wilson www.rageaudio.com.au |

And if you rub muriatic acid on your car's hubcaps after a car wash on a sunny day, make sure your sunglasses are on to keep out all of that glare. |

But it's pointless using an overpriced weak dilute cleaner. NT |

It converts iron oxides to iron phosphates, which are relatively stable, paintable and pale (not red). I still wouldn't use Coke for that. |

| "pfjw@aol.com" <pfjw@aol.com>: Jun 27 03:49AM -0700 Mpffff... the acids and chemicals in one's stomach put coke to shame. As to the sugar - that is a moving target. As with anything else, all things in moderation. Using Coke for 'off-label' purposes should be a matter of desperation vs. choice. Writing for myself, I have no need to use such means and methods if more direct processes are available. However, if I am at our summer house and do not want to drive 40 miles round-trip to the nearest Home Depot for one small thing, I will sometimes resort to alternate means and methods.

When they are RUN at the rated voltage and power. If you dim them the tungsten is deposited on the quartz and short of heating the quarts to white hot (above poster's remarks) the tungsten is going to STAY on the quartz, not recoating on the filament. http://www.topbulb.com/blog/dimming-alters-halogen-cycle/ In other words don't do it.

Wiki says differently : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halogen_lamp#Effect_of_voltage_on_performance Stage lighting uses dimming all the time with halogen lamps and there is no blackening or short life experienced - the lamps run much longer as expected. The claim that the "halogen cycle" puts metal back on the filament is true but it does not deposit it back where it came from so has little effect on lamp life. Most halogen lamps are low voltage or high powered - so in both cases the filaments are thicker than typical non halogen examples. Having a thick filament makes a halogen lamp last longer. ....

IRL halogen stage lighting works just fine. ** A better example to use is the hundreds of MILLIONS of 12V * halogen down lights* installed in homes - nearly al of which are run on dimmers.
