Your "fancy bulbs" need fancy ballasts and fancy fixtures. The large size bulb base is called Mogal so people don't confuse them with household lamp bulbs.

no, seriously.... 
you cant just put those bulbs into a regular light fixture....have to go back to the store and get yourself the coordinating ballast for each bulb, or get a dual ballast. Either MH or HPS. Different power usage for these types of bulbs, my friend!
Do you know how many watts the bulbs are, casue you probably want that info when you go buy the ballast. If you are just using one room to grow in, then it would probably be in your best interest to get the dual.
good luck and do some more readingbud, sounds like it is needed..
