All of the lamps that I have used have been halogen. I also run my lamps at about 11 volts. I have actually had 18 and 25 watt halogen par lamps blow in my hand while hooking them up!! When I went to 35 watt (which really screwed up my wiring and my transformer selection) I no longer had a problem. I figure that if I can only use 35 watt lamps in par fixtures, then I don't need to use them at all.
