If you still have halogen torchiere light fixtures — Amazon still sells them
— throw them out! But, you say, halogen torchieres put out a hell of a lot of light and don't cost very much. Why throw them out?
Well, first, halogen lamps get hot, hot enough to start fires if the lamp gets knocked over. (Halogen light bulbs are every bit as inefficient as incandescent light bulbs, after all.) All of this heat makes your air conditioner work much harder than it needs to, which is an important factor in the summertime. How much heat? So much heat that you can actually buy an oven powered by halogen light bulbs.
And, possibly most important, halogen torchieres use 300-watt light bulbs. 300 watts! There is no way you could possibly need that much light at any one point in any room of your house — wherever possible, use lighting appropriate to what you actually need at the time.
