Has anyone seen these new fangled indoor halogen lamps?  They've been
described to me: about 6 feet tall, point straight up (looking into one
of them can ruin your eyes), take bulbs of up to 500 watts, light up a
whole room well enough to read, with an analog dimmer to adjust the 
amount of wattage used, use less energy to light a room than a regular
incandescent bulb.

I've been told that they are available by catalog and that some discount
houses sell them for about $40.00.  

If you have any clues about how to purchase such a beast, I'd like to 
know.  Thanks.
