I recently bought a bulb with standard incandescent form factor that
apparently contains a small halogen lamp inside.  Seems like the trade
name was "Capsylite" or some such, from one of the big-name makers
like Sylvania.  Bought it in a home supplies or grocery store, I'm sure...
don't recall where exactly.
