<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 4917849, member: 27832&quot;]Halogen bulbs <i>do</i> have filaments. They just run hotter than old-style incandescent bulbs, so they produce cooler/bluer light.

They do, indeed, say halogen lighting is too bright. I stand by my assertion that they&#039;re off-base, but I don&#039;t expect my opinion to influence anyone against theirs. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
