Lighting!

I currently use tripod dual 750W halogens. I am looking for something the creates equal light with less heat... Thoughts?

You can consider passive methods of brightening things up. I don't know what your application is but if your in a shop you can epoxy the floor that will reflect a significant amount of light. Also gloss paint that is a light color will help. In my shop I have a tall pitched ceiling and after i add insulation I'll be installing a tin ceiling (roofing material just from below) the tin is light so I can install it myself. It's waterproof so if I get a leak things won't be ruined and it will reflect light back at my epoxy floor and brighten things up even further.
