Can someone Identify, Will it work, can I modify the cord??


Hello, Im new to the board and im new to hydro growing aswell.. Im starting my first grow here really soon. My seeds will need placement quick as they are almost ready.. Ill be using a few DWC setups and GH 3part system.
Ive already collected some CFLs for the operation but have read CFLs are not the greatest.. So ive been researching an looking for a good deal on a HID setup with not much luck.. To expensive it seems for a first timer like myself..
Then I came accros this light setup that is no longer being used at work.. It was a light used to light up the American flag 25ft up a year or so ago.





So the question is...
Can someone tell my what kind of light it is? If it will work to grow plants? Would it have the right spectrum or colors of light needed to get through all stages of growth? Veg - flowering/budding?
Will I be able to modifiy the cord from the three prong funny shaped thing to a standed plug with ground?
I have got this for FREE and am hoping it is usefull..
It almost looks like the same style of bulb I see with these "HID" setups.. Please ANY and all info is really helpful..
Thank you for reading..

I doubt it will work as well as a normal HID light. I want you to still use it though because I really want to see what kind of bud would come out of something like that. I vote try it out.

When I click the link says "page not found". I'm on my iPhone, I'll try on my laptop here later this afternoon.. I've figured out that I CAN just switch the plug out for a standard 110v plug with ground.. I'm just wondering if this has the right light spectrum
and colors needed to produce healthy product..
I'm only going to have 2 sites close together will 1 MH be enough? As stated above this is first indoor grow.. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Ill take the fixture apart and pull some numbers off the bulb to see exactly what I'm working with.

Update.....
I have taken the original plug that was on the fixture off..

I then put on the standard 120v three prong plug thats found at any hardware store..

This is my results....



HOLY SHYTE!!! BRIGHT as FAWK!!! As you can see it was so bright it distorted the picture with the rays of light going vertical in the picture.. Im impressed.. I can not believe I have stumbled upon these gems.. There are 4 fixtures total.. FREE!!!
I removed the glass cover from the fixture and unscrewed the bulb, and there are no markings on the bulb itself.. The fixture says its a 400w unit,But I would still like to know the specifics on the light..

Thank you.. Will post more updates SOON..
