Just found this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/POWERPLANT-400W-MH-VEGATATIVE-BULB-METAL-HALIDE-400W-POWER-PLANT-/140676459666?pt=UK_Light_Bulbs&hash=item20c0f86c92
It says this bulb can be used on HPS control gear.
May not be true plants can absorb 5 times the amount of c02 in the air itself and thrive greatly. To a human high c02 levels can make it uncomfortable to breathe etc.
