400 watt MH lights?

I have an opportunity to purchase 10 MH lights complete with bulbs and other spares for a good price. Do I want them?
I’m legal and have a decent plant count so that’s not an issue.
Maybe I could use the ballasts for a CMH setup?
The bulbs are 4100k. The reflectors are round and looks like they came out of a big building, like a shop.
Probably gonna throw in a minimum bid and see if I can “steal” them.

many opinions on the site that a 315 cmh, equals or surpasses a 400mh... i am running '2' 315's in a 4x3.5ft tent , n while the cmh mite run a bit cooler, maybe its equal to a 400mh , but i think not...
i don't have any equipment to confirm this, but i def think if i had '2' 400mh's , i'd be getting a better outturn of quanity, i think of quality tooo...

Got my goodies today. 10 used high bay 400 watt MH light fixtures, complete. About 10, 1000 watt ballast kits HPS. A bunch of new 400 watt MH ballast kits and some new fixtures, minus the shades. Spare capacitors, igniters mogul sockets.....spare 1000 watt HPS bulbs, dozens of new 400 watt bulbs MH.
It says 347 volts on everything but there is a 120volt tap, so I’m laughing.

Bulbs are not as high in demands and shot up from $50 to 70+ now though, now that there's plenty of commercial CHM tech on the market, still cheaper than a name brand 315 bulb though ;)
