“This is a 1500w probe-start metal halide lamp. Typically used for stadium lighting or in very high mounting applications. It will work to grow weed, but the electricity costs vs plant biomass would not be worth it.”
Ha. That’s a dead bulb. Anything over 250 watts can’t have any grease or smudge on it or it will blow up due to differential heating. The higher the power the more powerful the explosion.
The box for the lamp says not to touch the lamp with bare hands.
Tacky Raccoons 
And wait for two days for the bulb to cool to change out a blown bulb…

If it were dead it’d be black, but you’re correct about leaving filthy oils on that glass.
