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.
Is calcium in the halogen group?
No, calcium is not in the halogen group. The halogen group is made up of fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.
When do seedlings grow the fastest in full sun light or part sun light or full shade?
Of course. That leads them to the surface to grow.
How does hydrogen differ from halogens?
A halogen bulb uses a filament that has electricity passed through it to create the light. The halogen name comes from the gas the filament is enclosed in to prevent it burning. 'Xenon' bulbs can refer to either bulbs with a filament enclosed in xenon gas, or to a HID (High Intensity Discharge) bulb. HID bulbs work in an entirely different fashion. The light is created by passing an arc of high voltage electricity through a blend of gasses (primarily xenon) and metal ions. The light produced is powerful and uses less energy than the equivalent halogen bulb, so they are becoming more common in cars and other applications.
What light bulb types uses the least energy and therefore results in fewer greenhouse gas emissions?
Halogen+++No longer. LED-based fluorescent lamps use a lot less electricity than halogens for similar light levels - much of the energy emitted by a halogen lamp is heat, although it is more efficient than the equivalent argon-filled incandescent lamp. (A halogen bulb is still an incandescent type - it simply uses a different gas filling from the conventional bulb.)
What type of gas is in a tungsten-halogen light bulb?
Halogen gas is in a Tungsten-Halogen Light Bulb.
Does a 3 Halogen bathroom light use less electricity when dimmed?
no
Can you used a halogen light bulb to grow?
I would check with my local law enforcement department. They have vast knowledge of the best methods to grow marijuana.
What source of heat does a halogen light use?
an electric current passed through it
What kind of light Jesus Christ use to overcome darkness?
halogen headlamps in his '68 Camaro
What is the gas they use in car lights?
Either Xenon or Halogen, depending on which type of light you are referring to.
Never use a halogen light bulb over How many watts?
300 watts is the correct answer
Which throws off more heat a halogen or incandescent flood light?
A halogen light emits more heat than an incandecent light.
Do halogen bulbs save energy and money?
Halogen light bulbs are more efficient on energy and last twice as long as a regular light bulb thus saving you money. After researching several websites on energy it is stated that a regular light bulb costs $9.49 for 1460 hours of use whereas a halogen light for the same amount of hours costs $8.76.
Are halogen desk lamps safe to use?
Halogen lights are safe for indoor use but it is required that they be in a glass shield. They omit more UV rays then your standard light bulb so you need to be protected.
What gas is a halogen filled with?
Halogen is a gas, so your question doesn't make much sense. If you're asking about a halogen (light) bulb, then the answer is: mainly halogen.
What is the difference between led and halogen lights?
Halogen light glows and LED is dull.
