Light Bulbs:

• Incandescent: same as they always were.

 <-- Incandescent

• Halogen: more heat, up to twice the light and life of an incandescent and brighter whites.  Most incandescent bulbs can be halogen for a price.

 <--Halogen

• Xenon: less heat and a little less light than halogen but up to 10,000 hours of life.  (Only a few options available).

 <--Xenon

• Fluorescent: they used to flicker, now they flicker faster than the eye can see with electronic ballasts.  They also come in many different color temperatures like a incandescent type of light or a office building type of bright white light.  You can also get freaky with full spectrum bulbs.

 <--Fluorescent

• High Pressure Sodium: long life and decent color with a good amount of light per watt.  Usually designated with an "LU" on the bulb.

 <-- High Pressure Sodium

• Metal Halide: long life, good color with a good amount of light per watt.  Usually designated with an "MVR" on the bulb.

 <--Metal Halide

• Mercury Vapor:  super long life but very bad color, about twice as efficient as incandescent.  These are usually coated bulbs and have "S" or "HR" written on the bulb somewhere.

<--Mercury Vapor
