My tank dimensions are 60" wide 26" tall and 18" deep

Answer
yes its probably the best type of lighting on the market (metal hallide that is) i can't vouch for the brand as i'm in the UK and have never heard of them.

having the external balasts seems pretty benificial though, saves susspending ALOT of weight over your tank. other thing i would do is make sure they are 10,000K ratted hallide lights bulbs, they produce a much whitter light
