What does REC mean on the switch?

What type of lamps do you have.

I'm not sure, but they seem to be like those newfangled purplish lamps
new cars are farded with - resembling a florescent or other gas
discharge something-or-other (you can see how technically inclined I
am!). I'll check and get back to you.

I always though of halogen lamps as ordinary filament lamps filled with
a halogen gas that lets them burn brighter, last longer, or something,
but the filament produced the light. In my case the light does not
appear to come from a filament.
