However, the real replacement technology for incandescent is the halogen lamp incandescent shape, still permitted. These bulbs have exactly the same appearance as the old traditional bulbs, with the exception that the filament inside is replaced by a second miniature bulb glass, which contains the light filament.
The quality of light they provide is as good (or slightly better) than regular incandescent bulbs; they consume 10-20% less for equal lighting; and they last (theoretically) twice, or 2 000 hours.
We still find them easily in supermarkets. My last record price in hypermarkets, put the 1 euro coin. The old incandescent bulbs proposed here are displayed at the time of writing this review, to 1.20 part. So they come back more than twice as expensive, given their lower duration and higher consumption.
To those who love rightly, lighting and convenience of bulbs with old, like me and hate fluorescent and LEDs, I recommend taking inventory of these halogen bulbs incandescent shape.
[Update 22 May 2015]. On 17 April 2015 the European Union has postponed by two years the ban announced halogens, the sale remains authorized until September 1, 2018. There are no plans for now to ban halogens special form (pencil, miniature, miniature reflector).
