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.

Remember the halogen floor lamps that started fires? If a curtain
happened to get draped across the top, the bulb was SO hot that it would
ignite the curtain. After that, I was VERY cautious about using halogen
lamps. I recently put a halogen fixture in my bathroom, but only because
all the other fixtures at Home Depot used incandescents.

If the SunLight Bulb is truly superior, then $8 is a reasonable price.
If it becomes popular, then we will see lower prices.
