SWMBO has seen a light fitting for our lounge. It has 6 40watt halogen
bulbs. They are small bulbs like to ones inside a spotlight. I believe
they
may be Halopin bulbs. They seem costly - any thoughts on the output
compared
to a normal candle bulb. It was hard to judge it in the shop as they had
put
25 watt bulbs in for display.

I use those in a number of light fittings. They are very effective, but,
unless you have a large room, you may find six lamps rather too bright.
