MnM,

Direct (Screw-In) Halogen Bulbs should be as RF Quiet
as the older 'standard' Incandescent Bulbs.
Some Halogen Desk Lighting Systems use a Transformer
Yes mine are in a fixture and I would imagine there's some kind of
transformer in there.
A ''halogen'' bulb is simply an incandescent with gas, rather than a
vacuum, inside the bulb. It still uses 90% of the energy going into
it to produce heat, rather than visible light.
$8 a bulb is way too high for a CF. Try the 5-packs at Home Depot.
It definetily kicks out the heat, especially when its cranked up to 300W.
Would come in handy in the winter.
