Ira Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 For that price I SERIOUSLY doubt they were metal halides. Halogens or similar most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 I agree prolly halogens; i looked into it once and short answer no, they aren't any good for plants, not the best spectrum of light, too red. shame otherwise they would've been a convenient cheap solution. they do get very hot though.
