Please do not feel morally ambiguous about this. Halogen lamps are fully allowed under code and they replace your incandescents with everything you love about incandecents and less energy, allowing them under the code because they have enough lumens per watt.

They are basically an incandecent bulb with one important distinction: Instead of the vacuum of an incandescent they use a halogen gas (every manufacturer has a different mix) to burn brighter with less wattage. Otherwise they are the same old hot wire that you are used to. Last longer, use less energy, dim, and look as nice as incandescents. I buy mine at the local hardware store, they are readily available and about a buck twenty five each.
The other option you have is to use “rough service” bulbs, which have a plastic coating on the outside or specialized 130 volt lamps designed for “long life” due to being underdriven at the standard 120 volts.
Do not despair, do not rage. There is a perfectly serviceable replacement that is allowed.
