For solo stuff the heat was never a problem, but now I'm in the desert, and the air conditioner can't fight off those lights too.

Buy yourself a set of studio flash lights. Tungsten is wrong for stills work, low light, high heat and pupils effect will give you problems.
Studio lights can be bought for $1500 and it's money well spent. Expect them to last for 500 sets, that's $3 a set.
