Lighting – What kind of halogen bulb is this

bulbceiling-fanlight-fixturelighting

One of our ceiling fan bulbs recently went out, and I can't for the life of me find a replacement for it.

By my best approximations, size is 3.65" H x 1.3" W, and 11-12mm at the base. The engraving says, "GE 120V 29W CHINA G50". The G50 part really throws me off.

This is the closest I can find, but I'm not certain it's correct.

That looks like a torpedo bulb with a candelabra base (the base indicates globe style, it's mislabeled). If the voltage is at least accurate, that 29w should be a 40W incandescent equivalent, which is how many manufacturers often indicate wattage on packaging. They also make LED versions of virtually every bulb nowadays if you wanted to get an even more energy efficient version, a decent sized hardware store might carry them.
