Heya! Super new to growing and just learning how to get set up and wanting to ask for some feedback on these lights. Mainly just looking to use what I have available to get started and was curious of these lights would work. Obviously I’d replace the black light bulbs but would these halogen light fixtures be enough? The bulb length is 43cm.

Leds can be super cheap as far as purchase price and you could use half the wattage for the same thing.

If you don't already have the old bulbs I see no reason to use them. If you buy new, buy led.
