Need a source for metal halide flood/spotlights for vertical garden design (pics)

[Corpus Callosum]

Need some help on finding a cheap source as the subject says.

I am helping a friend of mine with his vertical gardening company, and we need to find an affordable source for metal halide lighting. The ideal scenario would be a spotlight/floodlight/pendant style unit that we can mount somewhere and point at the wall for supplemental lighting, especially in larger applications. Halides sold to the reef hobby and gardening hobby are just not cost effective for us.

Here are some pics so you can understand the application that they will be used for. The walls are not only aesthetically pleasing but play an important role in air filtration as well.

Hasn't grown in yet but here is a recent application that was done in a house:

I think if you are using the lighting for plants you would get a more useable spectrum and less expensive light if you used high pressure sodium lights.

I could see a high pressure sodium light being used for a flowering application, but the metal halide bulb will likely be better for all around vegetative growth. Also we have to think about aesthetics here, and the yellow light of a hps bulb simply won't work.

Thanks for PM'ing me that source.

Still looking for more sources.

He could set up a wholesale account with PFO or Sunlight Supply.
