GE touts hybrid Halogen-CFL light bulb

Now, I wonder if this be plain old self ballasted CFL connected with the halogen bulb ???

Jace the Gull:
Someone is really reading my mind because I actually thought of this idea my self SERIOUSLY!

SeanB~1:
So what will be the mechanism that kills this one at EOL? Will the halogen capsule fail ( likely as it will suffer a large number of switching cycles without a long runtime to complete the halogen cycle) or will the discharge side fail first. My bet is on the electronics failing before either one, seeing as it is a fully enclosed unit.

At last GE has made a small standby discharge lamp........

Medved:
Bauhaus (large DYI chain) sell this concept here more then 5 years, but not much successfully - they are very expensive.

Silverliner14B:
I don't think it will be that successful just a novelty. Additonally TCP now makes CFLs that warm up real fast like in seconds or so.
