Can someone tell me the significance of Halogenation? Specifically alkane halogenation. What is it used for?

I've visited all those sites and they mainly explain what halogenation is, not the significance of it.

Well, the significance is the synthesis of chloroalkanes (which can be used for a lot of things)!

Thanks!

If isobutane were involved in a halogenation reaction with Cl, for example, what would the end products be? I've looked at various equations of alkanes involved in halogenations reactions but I'm sure what the products would be with isobutane.
