Sorry dude... but a Halogen is the wrong spectrum for your plants... Plus, too much heat... You'd be definitely better off with natural light...

A 20w light would only be enough for starting your plants there is not enough
lummens in a 20w light to grow to mature plant size you are better using a 150w or higher watts

Halogen?

Sorry... they won't work. Wrong spectrum.

Plus, they put out shitloads of heat. I've seen small toaster ovens that use halogen lights as their heat source...

Read that? as their heat source
