Re: new American made incandescent bulbs
I had one of those torch 300W halogens, those were bright...and hot...
I was wonderring about those direct replacement screw in bulbs as Kiriakos was alluding to, which sounds like they do only use 70% of the power needed. How about color rendition index of these halogens, are they as good as incandescent or is the UV a bit more prominent? Annoying? Is it a frosted bulb or transparent glass?
I do have a lux meter, which might be worth it to see how it behaves except I need to buy a bulb They don't appear to be cheap though, sometimes a crappy CFL will be cheaper...
