You can use the grow bulb in the warehouse fixture. Make sure you get the same size rated light as the ballast indicates.

I have a 400w mh from a construction job I am at. It works great. I took it apart and put the ballast up in my attic and only the bulb is in the grow space.It will get hot so take that into consideration. I made a box with plexiglass at the bottom and dryer vent elbows on each end an made a cool tube setup. Works great and I love it.

You don't need a bulb made specifically for growing either.

unless you want to actually get some REAL growth out of it.
