Halogen or tungsten light buld?

Hi I am thinking of building a small propagator to start off seeds in my
unheated greenhouse next year. Would I be better using a 50 watt halogen
bulb or a 60 watt ordinary tungsten bulb. What would give the most heat? Or
is there a cheaper method of producing the heat?

Thanks Ron
