Oh it'll work alright.

I have a 400 W metal halide system too, and have experienced it to be an excellent source of light for mostly all of my plants. I use a SunMaster warm deluxe bulb.

Just don't keep the banana plants too close to the strong light at first...let them get used to it over time. Keep them well watered because they dry out fast under the lights.

Make sure the bulb isn't old either...new bulbs grow better plants. Use fertilizer too, to enhance the growth.

Good luck.
