I just bought a potted plant that apparently likes lots of light. Can I use a halogen lamp in lieu of the sun?
No, halogen spectral output is dogshit

It's a very simple plant. All I want is it to not die.

Just stick it in the brightest windowsill available, a shitty heat bulb not designed for plants won't do it any good

I'm in a room that has no direct sunlight all day long.
Use CFL bulbs instead. The kelvin output should be 6500k which is daylight. Set up one or two above the plant. These are much more efficient than halogens and they work for plant growing.
I've got CFL lights in the ceiling. Is that good or do they have to be really close?

Much closer than that. Like less than a foot away.
