The encapsulating chemicals will cost you about $25 plus another $20 for shipping. The 175 Watt mercury bulb is about ten to twelve bucks and the mogul socket is about five bucks.

So, you are looking at about $75 bucks or less when you add on some shipping cost and a piece of PVC.

I have made my own unit, and it is still working over a year later. To make an entire unit, you also have to buy an electrical box, wiring, and the balast with capacitor. You may also want a day/night sensor if so desired. This is not to mention the absolute necesity of a ground fault system.

A mercury bulb system gives off the green glow. I built a 400 Watt metal halide system which gives off a larger white glow. The two different units use different type balast/capacitor systems.
