Default Metal Halide Grow Light

Just curious if a 400 watt metal halide light fixture would be a good source of light for my bananas to get them pre started before I put them into the ground here in michigan in may. These are plants that have been stored in my crawlspace for the winter and I just took them out and they look good but I thought I would plant them, give them water and kick on that light for 8 hours or so a day. I have never tried this before but seems like it should work, I have 4 plants all about 3 ft tall or so and this fixture is the type you would see hanging from ceiling in a store such as sams club or cosco, walmart you get the idea. Its very bright and placed in my basement hanging from the floor joist its above the plants about 3 ft as of now. Any ideas or suggestions please let me know.
