I tried using florescent strips but they heated things up too much. Then I found these neat little triangular (swivel) halogen lights at Lowes. I've have one plugged in for a long time and it gave off very little heat since the bulb is tiny. I plan to use them in the wooden vivs I'll build for my corns.

I'll try to get some pictures of the lights once I get some new batteries for my camera.
Halogen lighting gets even hotter than incandescent. They are on par with MV lights. Fluorescents are way cooler than halogen and throw off a lot more light than incandescents, but the ballests also produce heat. LEDs are the best as far as being efficiant and staying cool, followed by fluorescent lighting.
