[quote name='1tym' post='14916' date='May 8 2009, 07:12 AM']tried direct HID lights before.. dont work.. at least the white light..



Few friends were coming up with the idea of using the yellow tint one but instead of a direct beam, try reflecting it to broad cast the light to a larger area. (haven't tried that)





We have discussed the options, we found that the HID though strong, is not what the squid like. For some reason they light the large high candle watt lights...[/quote]



I also tried Halide in the past and didnt see any major difference. I think your right about the temperature and would go with less white/blue bulbs. Regular street lights are HID lights, like on the bridge. IMO, the best part of Metal Halide is it draws a fraction of the wattage compared to Halogen.



If your looking to buy, I think Home Depot carries a portable variety. not cheap.
