Halogen cycle doesn't emit a lot of blue light, so adding a blue filter means they have to run the bulbs much hotter than normal to get the necessary light out of them.


It's why back in the day people would buy silverstars and scrape the coating off so they had a brighter bulb.


Blue bulbs are one of the biggest BS marketing successes of all time...
