95 degrees, what damage?

In my closet I'm growing 8 plants right now. I have 2 500w halogen lights in there, and they produce alot of heat. it normally is around 95 degrees, right now it's 95.8, I know thats 20 higher than it should be, will they be ok?

Is there anything I can do to reduce the heat, or should I just buy some different lights, and suggestions on lights if so? I don't have much money to spend btw. I have a somewhat big fan circulating air in there, I don't know what else to do. I can't vent it. Gotta hide it from the family.

n/m, realized I still had my other thread up.

Halogen are not good for growing. They don't put out the needed spectrum of light. You are paying for electric bills that won't get ya much. Sorry man.

YO DUDE you need some newlights 1 400 watt hps will do goodluck anyway

the two posts are right, halogen is for lighting up large dark areas, not growing, it is not the right wavelength, 1 Metal Halid (MH) or High Presure Sodium (HPS) is good, also, Compact Floros (CF) work, but you would need around 16! So going with a MH or HPS would probably be the cheapest way, and a 1 400 watt or more bulb would cut it just fine/

you would be better of with some floresent lights. they will use less electricity and but out much better light for growing also less heat. use as many as you can fit in you space.

i guess their right on the halogens im takeing a note of that but i do know that if you putt tin foil on the walls or paint i bright white. it will reduce heat a little im not sure how much though?

hey, havn't been checking this thread since I have the other one, but right now I have 3 150w (43w real) compact floro's and they are working pretty good. My seeds sprouted yesterday, and today they are about an inch in height I'd say. I'm thinking of moving them to a hydroponic setup tho once I look more into it, you think it would be worth it? What are the benefits?
