no ballast! cfl's have them built in. that is a mogul based light. most house lights are medium base. just get a mogul base socket or a medium to mogul converter and it will work fine. it is a $2 fix! enjoy!

hmmm so your sayin if i can put power to it it will start. i did so to one of them and it didnt start.

with the pics i add i know that would be right for how it would be wired if it didnt need a ballas but hmm idk im not a pro with lighting and stuff like that.

could i have a bad bulb with what i added to the post i made last.


ANYBODY THAT KNOWS PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO I CAN USE THESE BULBS WHY WAS UM.
 
ok i found out i need a ballast what can i do, can i got to home depo or lowes and buy a ballast that can handle a 65watt fluorescent bulb. im a big noob to this.
 
i'd just get new bulbs. sounds like a lot of work. you can get the right ones for a couple dollars.
 
returned them and got these 27watters for the same price but they were 7$ each.

Yea those will work for veg. After that for flowering youll want to get the like 4 of the 100w ones like this
TopBulb.com - 105 WATT CFL 2700K
or these
TopBulb.com - 65W 2700K SUPER BRIGHT COMPACT FLUORESCENT

Depending on how many plants you are gonna grow you might need more.
