Laura, I think the European-available lights most mentioned are Phillips,
"black light fluorescents." I have no experience with something called
specifically "metal halide grow lights" but the "grow lights" I tried in
the US were lousy. It was long ago & I disposed of them, so I can't say
what they were precisely, but they were extremely, even terminally slow,
so -- my suggestion is, don't take "grow lights" as a given.
Frankly, I'm surprised some European maven hasn't answered your question
yet... except it being August maybe they're all at the beach or in the
mountains. But now that I've said something, I expect a rush -- make that
a STAMPEDE ! -- to correct me.
so good luck.... and cheers !
