That bulb is a 400 watt Metal Halide bulb.

What you hear people refering to as the $100 HPS lights on ebay are complete systems that come with the ballast,bulb & reflector.

Correction,as the box says the bulb is 250 watt .

Looks like a SOX light which is a low pressure sodium. And your not supposed to touch those. I have handled many of these and they love to blow up when they have been touched. Not good for growing if I am not mistaken.

Since you got your grubby finger prints all over it, wash it down with 90% or higher alcohol before using. Quartz glass doesn't like the oils in your hands.
