fluorex lights?????

i went to home depot and bought a fluorex light 65w. ..just the light..... didnt know that it was a replacement bulb for the ficture it goes in which contains the ballast for it.. . Lights OF America 9266 65W Fluorex Floodlight Light

it has a medium base (normal size) its not mogul size (large i think) so it fits in a normal size socket but it just dont turn on .. is there a way to get it to turn on without getting a ballast for it?? if i can buy some cheap ballast?? or if i have to go out and buy the dang whole thing like on the site i posted..

i want this thing to work but i dont know how to get it to can someone help me

u need a ballast to run that bulb no matter what. Other CFL bulbs have built in ballast. I purchased the same one one but was too lazy to buy a light and take it apart, so i returned it and got a 100 watt cfl with built in ballast.

you need a ballester but their pretty cheap i got mine for 30$ form lowes it was out of a spot light. hydro shop has em to their about the same pricei just got 2 of the 100wcfl =1000wthe 65w cfl work very well also!!!! thats what i was using till last night check my page for picture!!!!

well i just came up on a flood light fixture without the light... so i thought my light would work in it but i guess its for a 70w hps light.. anyway around this???? or am i just ganna have to go and get the right fixture for it

you have to have the big bulb ballester or the lights dont work
