if you tried to hook a MH light up with no ballast it wouldent have the voltage to create an arc and if it did manage to arc it would have no current limit and would burn out either the bulb, the fixture, or wire, or it would trip the breaker.
you need a matching MH ballast to run one.
google how MH lights work and then show the site to him.
