Devi would be disgruntled if I put a CFL in the desklamp. She wouldn't be able to sit with her head up in the lampshade, warming her ears.

I just liked the light of the halogen better. And the dimmability. But then the halogen's rheostat died and I discovered that they no longer sell those inexpensive halogen torchiers everywhere.
