I'm looking for a way to suppliment my plants with lighting during the day
this winter. Are halogen lights, like shop lights on a stand, sufficient.
The plants are near or in windows, but I have too many plant and not enough
windows.

Halogen lights may not give you the most light for energy used and will
tend to warm the room a bit.
You also don't mention what you're growing.

I have no problem reblooming oncids and phrags under 4 4' T12 tubes. over
a 2'x4' area.
I've yet to rebloom a dendrobium in those conditions tho'.
