Energy Smart® Soft White and Reveal® Halogen-CFLhttp://pressroom.geconsumerproducts.com/pr/ge/three-bulbs-in-one-ge-s-hybrid-199673.aspxGE Lighting’s latest customer-inspired light bulb — a hybrid halogen-CFL contained in an incandescent-shaped glass bulb — hits the target for homeowners who love the energy efficiency and long life of GE-quality CFLs but have yearned for more immediate brightness in an energy-saving bulb.This new hybrid-halogen CFL combines attributes of three popular lighting technologies. GE engineers figured out a way to nestle an instantly bright halogen capsule inside the swirl of a compact fluorescent light bulb. The halogen element comes on instantly and turns off once the CFL comes to full brightness, thus preserving the energy efficiency of the bulb. All the workings of the bulb are contained in an incandescent-shaped glass bulb.
