HLG refurbished are the best, and they stand behind their refurbished products like no others.

I use a very small HLG $99.00 for veg time. However, when I did want to see how well I could flower with it, I was really unhappy with that result.
But in veg that piece of kit is amazing!!
Lift it up high, and I can hold 6-8 plants for months on end in veg,

Do you have that light bulbs, socket/ballast/capacitor already?
As you can not just screw that into any light socket, to make it glow. HID’s need a ballast/capacitor/socket cords. They are easy to build, I built dozens of them, from 70 MH, 100 hps kits, 250 hps, 400 hps, 600 hps, 1000 k hps from parts.
If your looking for cheap, why not just go to a DYI store, and buy a LED ceiling mount recessed light.
You can find full spectrum units, just get a whole kit. I have a few left over from a remodel we did a few years ago now.
