Cool...I bet 3200K 100CRI would look bizarre in a table lamp! (Or any regular household fixture for that matter!)

Well that's basically what halogens are. They're around 3200K I think and they're also the same CRI as incandescents. It's a noticeable difference but I actually prefer the higher kelvin light. It's crisper and more lively IMO. Normal soft white incandescents are kinda drab IMO (though they're lively compared to a warm white or "soft white" CFL...)

Yeah I did notice that feature about the halogen GLS lamps...so much whiter! (The 72w GEs I had were rated at 3000K!). It was a much nicer light than a 3000K fluorescent, though. And yeah incandescents look better than CFLs (2700K ones anyway, daylight CFLs look better than incans to me anyway) any day of the week. While I find 2700K does a "good enough" job of imitating an incandescent I can still instantly tell, for example in a fixture with an opaque glass globe, if it's an incandescent or a CFL.
I really miss the (of course nowadays discontinued) GE "Reveal" incandescents, they made wood look much nicer. However their light was a little too pinkish...I can picture it as I type...I grew up around those lamps and remember them well.

I have one W reveal left (from China) on a shelf here that wasn't put into use. The other three from the box all lived very short lives before dying (one was dead right out of the box i think)

Yeah the Chinese ones did have really short lives, I remember that too! I had one die in about 10 minutes, though it was due to air poisoning (filament burned up and smoked up the inside of the bulb).

Ah I had a GE halogen die in about a half hour. I installed it and it worked. I left it on (this was at my grandparents a year or two ago) and came back a couple minutes later and swore it was dimmer. I came back into the kitchen after that and the filament was glowing a deep orange color but wasn't giving off any usable light. Must've been a bad seal on the capsule.

I've seen Eiko enlarger and photo bulbs online, they are probably China bulbs and would not last very long.
