They installed it back in 2003. I thought it was cool because it's like car lights in the bathroom. But over 20 years later:
They're too hot to leave on during summer months
They're a pain in the ass to change as the mounts get stiff. Sure they can be lubed but my parents never think that far ahead
The wall directly behind the fixture is all singed up from heat. Torch flame shaped
But no fires, so you should be fine. The burning smell would be the dust since halogens don't require frequent changing.
EDIT: Grammatically, that sticker means 100w PER BULB

Turns out the middle bulb was defective. It blew out later in the night and was all black in the middle, lol, hence the smell.
I took a closer look at one of the bad bulbs and the reason I couldn't see the specs was because it rubbed off/burned off. I was still able to see a very faint etch of it saying 100W/130V.
I'm surprised these only last for 2000 hours. I'll probably just swap them out for the LED ones off of Amazon when they die.
