I was told that these ran too hot for use indoor, they are "2 500W halogen outdoor security lights" - i'm going with CFL's myself, they are like 15/4 of the "good" ones at home depot
Stay away from halogen lamps! Too much heat, too little light mostly in the wrong spectrum too. You'd be better of with allmost any type fluro's for sure.
your best bet is too get 2 150 watt reflectors from home depot and get 2 85 watt bulbs from www.1000bulbs.com/category.php?category=2086 if you gonna flower with cfl's double your wattage if not get a 400 wattHps www.insidesun.com but remember to get a vortex blower and carbon filter for odor www.mdhydro.com/activated-charcoal.html hope this helps
