sAtIvA hIgH can that be screwed into a regular type-A socket?

If ida known those exsisted, i might have went with 2 or 3 of them badboys and tried a grow with them. Still though, im glad i got my 600 watt setup n cooltube....

A 1500 watt CFL sounds like a major fire hazard - lol!

yes screwsd straight into a standard e40 socket , it has its own ballast built into the bottom of the bulb . they can run quite hot so id reccomend a good intake / exhaust , but saying that i get those bulbs upto just an inch from my plants and they dont burn .
