Here's a picture of my 1500 MH yard light. It turns night into day.

Michael - nice! I have the same bulb, but on a fixture I made. It does
indeed turn night into day!

Moths love it though. Thing gets covered in fried insects after a few
days!

Yea, before I got the fixture the bulb was getting coated in moth guts.
It did light up the trees a lot better though.

That one has a glass plate then? I can't see it (its too clean!)

Yup, I think it's plastic, not sure though.
