They also use all of their lights throughout the day, and have almost twice the number of lights as a typical home. Now i'm starting to understand why the government thinks they should force people to use LEDs and get them off of the incandescent.

I think you may want these:

Local Costco sells this same pack for slightly more ($19.99). I've been contemplating a switch as we have 11 such lamps and four of them (master bath) get used for extended periods of time.

Mainly because of how cold it gets, forced air isn't efficent enough. Baseboard heat is the prefered method as it starts lower, along the walls creating a thermal barrier against the walls. Even though they are insulted out the wazoo some walls can be quite cold to the touch unless they have baseboard heat going.
