Default Metal Halide Pendant Lighting

Seasons greetings everyone!
I was wondering if anyone out there has ever used metal halide pendants over
their fish tanks? I like the idea of having the ability to lower or raise
the light as needed. Additionally, metal halide has that shimmer effect
that shines into the tank. I am planning on using it over a 75 Gallon tank
(48X18X20). I'm wondering if I need to invest in 2 pendants. I would prefer
one 250 Watt MH pendant for simplicity and for costs. I figure I can hang
it over my tank and get several light zones, i.e. high light need plants
would be directly under the glow, slower growers in the periphery. Any
thoughts?
