	(Interesting set of data follows)

I recently discovered the Syvania "Capsylite" line of quartz/halogen bulbs.
These are interesting products because they are interchangeable with standard
incandescants, but are appreciably more efficient, longer lived, and
(I believe) have better color. Because they use a double shell of glass,
they are also insensitive to finger oils, and do not present the same risk of
burns when at operating temperature. As a drop in replacement for incandescant,
these bulbs are very nice indeed:

The bulbs are available in 120 and 130 V. versions, plus some set of
floods and spots (52 and 72 Watts I think). The ones I purchased cost
almost $4.00 each, so they are not cheap, but I have been very happy
with them so far. No data at the moment on the 3500 hour lifetimes.
