Metal halide?
High pressure sodium?
Same thing but slightly different light spectrums. Straight metal halide is more like summer sun. The HPS is more like the autumn sun. It's for flowering. The ballast and fixtures are the same for both bulbs.
Plug in suns?
They work excellent but they put out some heat.
Never touch the bulb. The temp at the center is lie 1000 degrees. Watch misting. A drop or two of water and it will explode.
Wear sunglasses around them.
If I had tropicals they are what I would use. You can't even tell the flouresescent lights are in the same room with these on. They are that much better.
I was talking to Jerry Meislik at our club show a couple years ago. He was the guest speaker. If I remember right he said he keeps his ficus under 9 ,1000 watt halides in the winter where he lives.
