Metal Halide Lamp

Metal Halide vs. High Pressure Sodium vs. Mercury Vapor?
Can anyone tell me the general differences between these lamps and what application each one is best suited? Please don't give me a wikkipedia link I already tried it.
Mercury vapor has been replaced by Multi Vapor. They work best indoors and have good color rendering. Metal Halide has good color rendering and work indoors or outdoors. High pressure Sodium have poor color rendering and can be used indoors and outdoors but are usually found in parking lots ect. Low pressure sodium have awful color rendering, can be used indoors and outdoors and are very efficient.

SODIUM vs. METAL HALIDE vs. MERCURY VAPOUR bulbs
Is a ballast required for HPS bulbs?
I am growing plants indoors and I would like to set up either a metal halide bulb or a high pressure sodium bulb. i understand that to ignite the gases in these bulbs you need the special ballast although i did not want to spend the money on all that. So could i just plug it into a lamp?
not just a ballast, you need a lighting unit that also contains a capacitor and a starter. these are the component of a HID lamp(metal halide, high pressure and low pressure sodium). you have to buy a unit that has all of these already in them, you can not build your own and you can buy one through gardening supply places or the internet.
