The Habitat For Humanity outlet store on Riveroaks in Fort Worth Texas
has
about 50 Metal Halide lights for $20 each including the lamp. The specs
are
as follows:
400 Watts M59 type Reflector diameter 18 in.
Metal Halide
Mfg: Regent Model: HB400MH
120Volts / 2.5 Amps
Use wire rated at 105 deg centigrade min.
Lamps: Sylvania Metalarc M59 R M400/U

The lamps have a thin plastic coating over the glass which is peeling
off. I don't know the purpose of this coating but it might be to keep
the glass from being handled prior to installation.
The light fixture looks like the one in Sandy Kings artlicle - see link,

except this one is 400 watts instead of 1000 watts.
