One more downside to MH is that once you turn it off, you have to wait
for it to cool down before it will re-start. And they take a minute or
so to warm up, so its not for a room in a house.

I like them for a workshop though - plenty of light and little heat
(compared to tungsten bulbs).

$4 each? Good luck with that!

Cheapest bet would be a cheap fuxture from HD, you can butcher the
thing if you have to, or just use it as it is.
