COUPON for GE Halogen Bulbs
at smartsource.com. Yes, you do have to sign up, but all they do is notify you when thier coupons change, so about once every 2/3 weeks. No spam or viruses; no selling your email. You can also reprint the coupons several times.
Happy energy conservation!

3. Whohoo! Oh yes.
use about 66% less energy than conventional bulbs. Replace only the bulbs you use the most and still save quite alot!

5. I'm not so sure about that...
Myth: Halogen lighting is superefficient.

It's true that halogen lights use slightly less energy than standard incandescent bulbs, but many halogens require transformers that can use extra energy, even when the light is off. They also tend to put off a great deal of heat, which may add to the cooling load of a home during hot weather. Halogens can also pose a serious fire hazard. By comparison, compact fluorescent lights are nearly three times as efficient and put off far less heat. Many new models are dimmable, like halogens.
