Hi Paul,

So halagen light run off a car battery will not emit major EMF? I know
halogen can be bright enough (I used it for awhile but had headaches and other
yukky feelings every time). I thought they used a transformer or something. My
little 20 watt plug in desk lamp actually buzzes. I do live in Colorado so a
solar cell (if I could invest in one later) would definitely be doable.

Yes the halogens come in 12 volts the only reason they will buzz is due to
the transformer which steps down the AC 260v to 12v DC, so running a bulb
straight from a battery will make it AC. You should have no probs with that, but
do the maths to see how long it will run.
