Energy transfer by Ly$\alpha$ photons emerging from galaxies may heat intergalactic gas if HII regions within galaxies are recombination bound, or cool the gas faster than by adiabatic expansion if reddened by winds internal to the haloes. In some cases, differential 21-cm antenna temperatures near $-500$ mK may be achieved at $15<z<25$, similar to the signature detected by the EDGES 21-cm cosmic dawn experiment.
