I went to a garage sale today and found metal halide fixture/ballast/bulb for $100. They are brand new and never been used and are 250W. I want to know if you think this is a good deal before I purchase it. He said the bulbs are 65k spectrum. I have never dealt in metal halide before so just wasn't sure. Only problem I see is that it does not have a "splash guard" and a thin sheet metal reflector.

similar to this:

$100 is a pretty good price if it's brand new. You'll probably want to change out the bulb (I assume that's supposed to be 6500k), as it will be extremely yellow...

Thanks for your help. I think I decided against it.
