Have halogen lights under my kitchen cabinets for task lighting. The lamp that I use next to my chair for handsewing is also halogen. Can't beat the clarity of the color and the brightness.
Good idea to use halogen as the bulbs are the best for true lighting. Only thing I don't like about them is the heat that they give off. Make sure that if the bulb goes bad make sure you don't toss them in the garbage as the gas in them is considered hassered waste and needs to be taken care of properly.
