I’d suggest the frosted bulbs for you then. The filament size of the halogens is actually larger than the previous incandescents. Add the soft white bulb exterior and you should have no complaints, a lower electrical bill and no seizures.
Halogens are not the “new” technology in car headlights that you are complaining about, we’ve actually been using them in cars for about 25 years. The newer “cooler” lamps are xenon metal halides. The issue with a lot of those retrofits is that the refractor systems in older cars were not designed for that brightness, hence the light being aimed in directions that were not an issue for the original light levels.
You will find very, very few xenon metal halides, or metal halides in general home use. There have been some that have been specified for very specific uses, but they are too rare to be ones you have likely been in.
