Why do these restrictions on lighting exist?

LVCVA addressed this concern by implementing regulations on halogen lighting used in their facility. Since then, nearly all of the other casino convention centers in Las Vegas have adopted these regulations.
Which halogen lights are approved for use in Las Vegas?
- Bulbs must be enclosed (cannot be exposed)
