    Halogen bulb? Are you holding the bulb glass with bare hands when fitting it?

    Always use a cloth or wear gloves when fitting halogen bulbs to avoid getting skin oils onto the glass (same with car headlamp bulbs).
    If you accidentally touch the bulb you can clean the oils off using isopropyl alcohol.
