Just a word of caution,

an unenclosed metal halide bulb is illegal, just about anywhere

for your own safety turn off the metal halide before entering the grow

how these monkeys are able to sell this illegal halide light without an enclosure

even in such remote places as 'merica is a discredit the the epa

or any consumer rights group

The use of a bare arc tube can allow transmission of UV or precise positioning within the optical system of a luminaire.

The cover glass of the luminaire can be used to block the UV,

and can also protect people or equipment if the lamp should fail by exploding.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal-halide_lamp

this depends on the type or make of bulb you got in your deal..?

MH lamps carry ratings such as "E" (Enclosed), "S" (Suitable), and "O" (Open/closed) that identify under what conditions they should be used. According to American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the "E" rating refers to lamps that must be used in enclosed luminaires that meet the safety requirements of UL1598.

If you have $50 you can buy a CMH All Start bulb. You run it on the ballast's MH setting. A local hydro store has the Sun Systems LEC 315 and it runs noticeably cooler. It's a $500 system using the Agro Elite bulb which requires a special ballast. The All Start bulb works with magnetic ballasts. I assume it runs as cool. I haven't used one. There are people in the indoor forum who use it and say it's the best choice short of spending a lot of money on efficient LED.
