Abstract
The present invention relates to a safety shield or protective cover for halogen lamps particularly halogen floor lamps, whereby the protective safety shield is mounted within an inverted shade device so that flammable objects are prevented from coming in contact with a very hot lighted halogen bulb. The safety shield comprises a substantially rectangular wire framework defined by an arcuate wire support base member that is fixedly attached to a halogen lamp fixture, and wherein the wire support base member includes at least two arcuate rod members transversely affixed thereto so as to cover the halogen lamp fixture, thereby preventing any foreign material from coming in contact with the halogen lamp bulb.
