Halogens can heat up to extreme temperatures making them a fire risk. Peace of mind is a good reason to replace them. If you're still not convinced, note that you can expect your power bill to drop since they're far more efficient.  And they last ages so only need to be changed after several years!⁣

Always use a licensed electrician.⁣
