Well the bulbs do put out a lot of heat- the brighter (more wattage used), the hotter they will get. They do manage to heat up a room fairly quickly, and blow fuses regularly -lol. The bulbs that come with it are a combination of 1250 watts which isn't too bad, assuming it's enough light for your situational needs. We usually run on about 2000 watts which is the source of our problems mentioned above. You can purchase bulbs of varying wattage, so you might experiment to see what you can get away with.

btw- I have yet to use one of those garage halogen lights without it catching fire!
