Most if not all CFLs have a built in ballast.

Take the “ equivalent “ rating with grain of salt.
Think typical fluorescent style light.

They have built in ballest … E39 socket with cord .
Had a few back some years ago. Light is best from sides ( hence wing reflector )

Think it should of came with the base? This looks like that bulb..

With that being said, it’s a non integrated cfl so it requires a ballast, like the box says.
300-Watt Equivalent CFL Light Bulb Daylight - Feit Electric
The PLF65/65 65W Feit Electric CFL natural daylight bulb produces 4550 lumens of 6500K Daylight while using only 65 watts of electricity - up to 76% less

the way the bulb is designed, it has the wires going through the glass into a circit, or should do, ive only ever herd of luro tubes needing a ballast, never seen a bulb without a built in ballast. sounds just like you say, a shitty bulb. cheaper isnt allways better sad to say

It’s a high bay light, it’s prob made for a specific fixture which has the ballast built in it. It seems outdated with all the high bay LED fixtures out now. Just send them a email and ask about the ballast. Seems like a hassle, if you are set on this style bulb, grab a integrated one, I can’t see hunting the driver for this thing being worth it.

well you learn somthing new each day, never herd of a fluro bulb fitting like that needing a ballast. it must have a listing in the specs sheet or on the package which mentions the ballast its compatable with, or should do

You would think, I couldn’t find any info on a ballast or the fixture it fits. Obsolete is most likely why. If there was at least specs, you could just match up a ballast, same as a t5,t12 etc.. they are all the same, this is just a tube bent up, Straighten it out, prob a 2 foot t5 requiring like 30-40 volts and 2 amps, he’s hitting it with 110 volts and 13 plus amps.
