My bulb importer also carries krypton bulbs but tells me that the halogen
bulbs are brighter and last longer...

In the USA, Radio Shack has a screw-base krypton bulb (SK222, I think) that
is, excuse my French, a piece of junk!  I was all-excited when I discovered
it and was promoting it because it is brighter than the No. 245, until I 
realized that the life span is extremely short and many of the bulbs are
defective to start with...

Trust me, you cannot do better in terms of price vs. performance than the
halogen screw-base bulb that I carry.  I am a perfection-seeking, active
and very demanding stereo photographer... I only carry and promote what I
like, use and trust.
