We have a ceiling fan with a light fixture over the kitchen table.
There are a pair of 100 watt bulbs in the lamp.The lamp has been on
wall dimmer for a dozen years.
I have a small stash of 100watt bulbs tucked away while waiting for a
good bulb substitute.

Last week we were at Sam's Club. Here's what I found

A 4-pack of bulbs, made in China (of course) branded GE.
They have a clear glass envelope the size of a standard 100 watt bulb.
Inside is a small halogen bulb.



Halogen bulbs ARE incandescent. That's why you can dim them so easily.

Please don't shoot the messenger!

GE, on the packaging, prominently says they are an "incandescent
replacement."
In the finer print it says "traditional incandescent."
