Info on the alleged "2012 incandescent ban": http://members.misty.com/don/incban.html
Philips EcoVantage are halogen incandescent light bulbs designed to meet the new 2012 efficiency standards, with brighter lighting at lower wattages and longer service life -- all without the disadvantages of compact fluorescents. And thanks to the shape of the halogen capsule inside, the bottom of the glass bulb stays cool to the touch.
EcoVantage bulbs are available in regular Soft White as well as less yellowey "Natural Light" (similar to GE Reveal), in a variety of wattages. So far I've been able to find them on the shelf at A&P and Wegman's, plus you can order them online.

This model has the older style infrared NightShot light which casts a small square "hot spot" in the center of the image. Newer Sonys have a more evenly distributed but not as far-reaching IR light.

The GE Circlite and similar fluorescent circline adapters were the first form of energy-saving lighting to fit in a standard bulb socket. They're difficult to assemble, too large to fit in many lamps, and take a long time to turn on, but produce bright, pleasant light and use much less power and produce much less heat than a standard incandescent bulb.

I received two items in large boxes, wrapped and padded with a very large amount of bubble wrap. This both helped ensure their safe arrival, and also gave me a well stocked supply of it to use when selling my own items.
