Maybe the halogen bulbs used for cooking are a lot stronger than the ones used for lighting??

Replace a 100W incandescent with a 15W LED bulb that costs £1.45. You are saving 0.085kWh for every hour that it's turned on. If you pay 20p per kWh for your electricity, the bulb will pay for itself after 85 hours use. So definitely worthwhile for a bulb you use several hours a day; not so for a rarely-used one.

From what you say and tweetiepooh say, it's probably better to replace the bulbs most in use with LED lights until you have used up all of your stock. The bulbs that are replaced can be used in the other rooms when they fail.
