Take that halogen and look at it. If it has a clear pentagon center, take it and throw it at the wall. Those with clear centers are very prone to burning monitors. Flood lamps should have all fluted lens(widens the angle of the lite).

Some brands went to these clear centers(combination flood/spot) Without changing the labels. Phillips is one of the brands.

I now use mostly incandesent floods, as they never burn. And are less costly. And lastly they work just fine.
