you have to have a ballast to you those type of bulbs. one ballast for each bulb. unless you get a duell ballast for 2 bulbs.

To add to what was said above.A e-26 based bulb is bigger than a standard socket,it is called a medium based bulb.A e-39 based bulb is even bigger than a e-26,both require a mogul socket rated to handle the temps and voltages.OPH

yea that requires an ignitor just to light up, and it needs a power source greater than 150w to power it, so a ballast is required.
