Hi again, everyone!

Does anyone grow under halogen lights? What are the pros and cons? I
grow
indoors and I'm looking into supplemental lighting. So far, halogen
fixtures look like my best option.

Thanks!

Sarah




They give off a lot of heat for a fairly small amount of usable light.
Fluorescent lighting has good light and not to much heat but have to be
quite close (1 foot or less). Compact fluorescents can have decent
intensity but still have to be relatively close(1-2 feet). Metal halide or
High Pressure Sodium give you the most bang for the buck. Watt for watt a
HPS bulb will give off at least 4 times as much useable light as a halogen
light and 1/4 the heat. Unfortunately MH and HPS don't have the most
attractive fixtures.
