One more thing to mention about metal halide: light is typically delivered via a light guide, which may cost around $ 500. Sometimes they go bad and need to be replaced, so this is also a factor to consider. Our light guides typically last a good five years if we are careful (they don't like to be bent, and they don't like to get hot).
