Keep in mind the lamp may produce significant amounts of UV emissions which may over time degrade plastic components subjected to direct, intense illumination. Simple solution - some flashing strategically placed to shield such stuff.

Good luck with the rest of your build. :)

It makes is easer for us to understand the build if the first post has the build parts like what kind of lamp ( A 250 watt HQI made by ??)

Is that a home-made socket?

Yes, well spotted, it is a home made socket, I made a wooden mount, and used copper fuse clips, which I soldered wires onto, then screwed it to the wood...

I only did this because I could not easily find a supplier of the correct socket...works really well though...

The bulb is an Osram HQI-TS 400 W/D Daylight (5200K)

The balast is a generic 400 watt Growlight system (got it form a gardening center)

Durachko, many thanks for the encouraging words, and you most excellent advice regarding UV light, and its ability to degrade plastic...will add flashing accordingly...
