These were bulbs rated at 12 Volts being run at 10V. Is there any way you can avoid running them below their rated voltage? Why are you doing this instead of getting bulbs rated at less wattage? What do you think the manufacturers could do about their products being used at a temperature too low for the full halogen cycle to operate? -- Compost: it's the right thing to do.
