As many as you own. The battery may not last very long if you turn all of the lamps ON at once.

What redfred said.

Do some math. Battery capacity/over bulb consumption.

How to calculate the total time a battery can operate light? - Instructables

You don't say which Razor scooter battery you have. They start at 4ah and a 50w, 12v lamp draws 4.16amps. With 1 lamp, that 4ah battery wouldn't last an hour.

Why halogen? Do you have something to heat up or burn? Why not LED?

Quite. One might better use a light emitter rather than a heater that just happens to emit light as well. Far more efficient, and would make the battery last longer for the same lumens.
