Yep! All the Planet Savers were so hot to get to an efficient bulb, that they were perfectly willing to push the fluorescent and halogen bulbs on people who cannot tolerate them - epileptics get to have seizures, people with sensitivities to certain light freqs get to enjoy the brain-fry and even physical pain that result. Why? Probably, ignorance of those consequences, mostly. But don’t sweat it - you can still be saintly, just not quite infallible!
Now, we’re going to get better LED’s instead. And they have already improved significantly. Try the Utilitech brand from Lowes. I switched everything out when I found those. The price is nice, and simple wattage equivalents definitely aren’t everything - we need ambient light, and those do a good job. We may get something even better in future, but those will meet the equivalent light and bulb-life-vs-incandescent-price challenge nicely.
