Yeah Ive seen this question asked before... but no a halogen wont work...

The halogen spectrum shows that there is more intensity at around 650nm to about 950 nm. This shows that there is more concentration of red light

A HPS bulb hits between 550nm and the lower 600's... sooo a halogen is just out of the useful spectrum... but hell you can try it if you like...
