Possible to make for less than $500 each?

Thanks,
8, 200+ watt HID lights? What are you planning on doing with those???

Seriously though I don't know the exact price but I would say that if my 10 watt HID cost nearly $100 for just the bulb and ballast that there's no way you can get a 200 watter for less then $500.

Good luck though in your quest to remake the sun.
