halide question

Not so sure about this statement:
" A mogul based bulb does not produce any UV rays so it does not need any glass."
I agree with Jason having tempered glass covering the light is better. Any salt spray is going to accumulate on hot surfaces faster. If you get some on the bulb it may cause some hot spots on the surface of the bulb and burn it out.

ya i'm with you on that one, i'm pretty sure moguls produce the same type and amount of short wave uv radiation, but moguls have an out envelope, to retain the harmful type of uv exposure, correct me if i'm wrong
