[Shop-talk] Halogen replacement bulbs

[Brad Kahler]

Don't know if it's a typo or not.  My test was to illuminate the empty
generator compartment on my motorhome.  I didn't notice much difference in
how bright the compartment seemed for each light.

Are these lights as bright as Halogen lights, no certainly not, but for
what I was looking for it seemed to fill the need quite nicely.

YMMV
