Question Metal Halide Lighting Question

Does anyone have these? I see people on here recommending them, but who has them? Does anyone have any pictures of these light? How much are they and where can they be bought? And what's the benefit of them over all the other lights? I'm looking for lights for a new garage and would like to know more about these. Thanks

The Wobble Light makes a Metal Halide work light. They're not cheap but are very bright.

E-conolight sells MHs and Fluorescents at very reasonable prices. Have a look:

Re: Metal Halide Lighting Question

I have 17K watts of Metal Halides in my detail shop. You practically need sunglasses when you're working. They're absolutely fabulous. Flourescent lights offer only ambient lighting, when polishing cars you need the direct lighting so it can cast a shadow. Without shadows you can't see swirl marks. Swirl marks never leave my shop, because I can see what I'm doing.
