To install the halogen bulb, use the paper sleeve to install it into
the bracket. Press one end of the bulb into one of the sockets
until other end can be inserted into other socket. Halogen bulbs
must never be touched with bare skin. The oils cause the bulb to
crack and fail. If the bulb is touched, clean it off thoroughly with
isopropyl achohol and a cotton swab or lint-free cloth. Reinstall.
Install the glass globe and you're done! There are three tabs
on the halogen fitter. There are corresponding grooves along
the lip of the globe. See Fig 12. With the globe firmly in two
hands, line up the nearest indentation with an opening to the
groove on the globe. Lift the glass into place and turn it
