So ive been wondering why nobody ever talks about using halogen lights.. those heavy duty halogen lamp lights, is it because they emit way too much heat?? or are they just not ideal for mj growing?

They are just fancy incandescents, anything without a ballast is extremely limited in amount of output (CFLs ballast is just built in). A 42 watt CFL is approx. 2600 lumens whereas a 150 watt halogen is just approx. 1300-1500 lumens and wayyyy hotter
