I have a friend who has a 1000W HPS Sylvania Lumalux Hg bulb in his garage and offered it to me for $20. I tried to see if anyone has used this bulb or knows if it is good at all. Please any quick information with any facts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

You really don't want second hand lights, try and save up for new ones.
