Choosing these bulbs was a process of elimination: Incandescent's are being phased out, CFL's are horrible dimmers, and LED's seem pricey.
The amount of light it provides is quite good and performs well with dimming. The bulb is actually constructed of a smaller halogen bulb encased in an incandescent bulb enclosure (bulb within a bulb). The lighting principle is the same except the element uses the gas in the halogen bulb.
I have used halogens in multiple applications in the past with decent results regarding the lifespan. Unfortunately, 1 of the 4 I bought has already died within 6 months of less than normal use. A second is about to go (it's emitting a very high pitch noise from the element vibrating). I gave it 3 stars per definition, "It's OK" their lighting ability is exceptional, but reliability is less than average (and advertised) so far. It has been replaced by an LED.
UPDATE Down to one working bulb; recommend investing in LED bulbs. The price is steadily decreasing as their technology is getting better.
