That type of kit you have to put together yourself. I suggest searching for a electronics forum and seeing how they do it. It's not hard at all but for someone who has to ask, you might want to see how the pros do it.

um those are fairly easy to wire, get some grommets, plastic cap looking thingies with metal threaded inserts in them and follow the instructions on the transformer. should take 10 minutes or less if you have any electrical background...

Yeah I say grommet too, its moot. And if something is rolling around in your cfl that means it's broken (and obviously if you plug it in and it doesnt light up ;))

eh it might not be unusable.. ive used a pc bulb for months that had something "rolling around inside" but it is abnormal, so if you can return it do it... I did and got a new bulb fo free
