electricity question

I just purchased a CFL and realized it takes a 240 volt plug instead of 120. What would be the eaisest and cheapest way to make it work?

damn, what is the wattage of the bulb, and where did you get it???

Yeah, what he said^^^^

its a yard buster bulb. Replacement for a mercury vapor. its a 65 watt. Would a voltage converter do the trick? it works with 120, but i think it would be alot brighter with 240. its supposed to have 6825 brightness lumens and 4500 photopic lummens (whats the difference?).

I doubt it needs 240 volts to operate, it does need a ballast. Since it has a mogul base you will have to buy the fixture it goes into. I have one outside my work shop. Puts out a lot of light. Unfortunetly its not the right kind of light for growing. They do have bulbs like it that are good for growing. Research. VV

its self ballasted

could it work for at least the veg stage?
