RE: Halogen lights



Halogen lights usually run hotter (they generate a *lot* of heat), are
closer to the yellow-red end of the spectrum, and are less energy
efficient than flourescent.

If you are keeping them on all day, I would worry about the electricity
cost.  If you are just using them to see what you are doing while you
are in the room they might be good.

There is quite a bit of info on halogens, and lighting in general in
the Krib: http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~aquaria/Krib/Lights/
