Default Metal Halide Arc bulbs for home? Crazy?

Glass _can_ be a UV filter if it's coated with the appropriate material.
Some plastics are UV absorbant but even they need special treatment to
make them highly UV absorbant. Polycarbonate, for example, will block
UV, but if you want PC that is rated for eye protection against UV, you
look for UV400 polycarbonate.

How are you going to get this single bulb to distribute the light evenly
in a garage?
