Has anyone ever used a 100watt outdoor light for seedlings or clones? I found one with the buld at Menard's for 60$

MH should work fine. I've never bought one intended for outdoor use though so I can't say from experience.

What kind of housing is the bulb in? or is it just a mh bulb.. because im not a 100% but i always thought even a small wattage HiD light needs a ballast to start up.

Ballast is part of the top enclosure. It's like a street lamp. Has a sandblasted glass around the bulb but I was thinking just like a verticle

you'll be fine as long as it's ballasted..if the bulb is hid and has a mogul base..good luck ..be safe

Plants can grow to within about 6" of the 100w before burning. You want to adjust height to get the coverage area you are after. I have that covering a 2'x3' area for vegging and they do a pretty good job for cheap with china special magnetic ballasts and bulb like everything you will find at home depot
You can buy them here for a good price - http://growershouse.com/mini-sunburst-mh-100w-fixture-w-lamp
