You can, but it's not a great idea. Halogen lights, as with incandescent lights, use lots of electricity, and most of this generates heat rather than light.

I would suggest using fluorescent, HID or LEDs for grow lighting.

What is a halogen used for in a halogen lamp?

Halogen light bulbs are used because:they can be operated at a higher temperature than can be used for ordinary light bulbs. This results in less heat production compared to light output and an overall much higher efficiency in the conversion of the energy which is input - electrical energy - to the energy which is output as visible light.andthey have a significantly longer useful life than ordinary incandescent light bulbs.Technical noteThe invention of halogen lamps was based on the discovery of a special physical feature: when small amounts of a halogen gas were added to the contents of the light bulb, these were found to help to return large quantities of evaporated tungsten atoms back to the filament. This resulted in a significantly longer lifetime of such lamps.General note about how all incandescent filament light bulbs operateAn electrical current travelling through the filament of a light bulb makes it glow white-hot and generate both light and heat because of the electrical resistance of the filament.The filament is normally mounted within a special mixture of noble and/or inert gases held inside the glass enclosure of the light bulb, held at a pressure which is close to a vacuum.The special mixture of gases prevents the filament from oxidizing and burning away, which would happen extremely quickly if it glowed white-hot in normal air which contains oxygen.

Can beanplants grow in the dark?

Bean plants need light to photosynthesize and grow. Without sufficient light, they will not be able to produce energy and grow properly. While they can survive for a short period in the dark, they will not thrive in the long term.
