So i was riding my bike at my local college and there was this "sweet rail" and it was a not a rail at all but a knocked over street lamp the bulbs were all intact and if i was to get one of these. How would i go about powering it? would i just screw it in to like a normal socket or it is much more complex some help would be appreaciated. cause i have no fuckin clue in this field

You need a ballast with any HID lamp the bulb alone won't do you much good. The more important question is how are you going to remove it without getting electrocuted?

Nah mang"s" you dont understand the reason i thought it was sweet rail is becuase it was completely off the mounts and going down this incline so it looked like a rail to ride my bike on but on closer inspection it was a street light and all thats covering the lights is 4 phillip head screws and a piece of plastic. and its not theft its obtaining!! oh yeah and were would i obtain one of these of ballasts and that i would buy

I imagine a cop walking up to you,"do you have a permit to smoke out of that glock?" Him, "Nah officer its a bowl see you hit it here mang." (throws some cuffs), cop "Do you know your rights...anything you say and...". Him "should of rolled an L dam it could of clipped that shit" this is probaly the only way you could get out of a situation like thatkiss-ass

stays relevant.
you should never commit more than one crime at a time, and stealing anything to grow pot is two crimes. busted.

you guys really need to chill out the street lamp is knocked over, and its been like that for awhile because its all rusted up and stuff from people riding and skating it. And stealing stuff is a crime its true. But never commit more then two crimes at one time? Thats ironic you are growing marijuana and smoking it or distributing it. So don't give me shit about stealing if I get caught then its my problem. Alls I wanted to know hypothetically is how you would power one of these beasts.

It IS theft! Thats how the police are gonna see it anyway. And karmha will bite you in the ass EVERY time!!! While I do not condone theft in any form, I certainly think that IF you are gonna steal, make it worth while. You cannot grow yer smoke in jail, and to even risk going to jail for stealing a light you were too cheap to buy states VOLUMES about ya!! Yeah, it's been knocked over for some time, and you'd PROBABLY never have an issue, but what if you DID get caught? It IS still and all city or county property, and thats how the authorities are gonna see it.
Find yerself a demolition company, and find out where they are demolishing a commercial warehouse or some building with high bay lights.
I found a site and got all the 400w and 1000w HPS and MH lights I could want for $40 a piece, reflectors and bulbs included. A little modification, and viola! Remote ballast grow lights!!!
Don't even RISK going to jail over some petty dumb shit. Kinda hard to hold yer head up when they ask ya "whatcha in for?"
