Is it one of the compact Hydrofarm sunburst systems? where the ballast is already built in?

I have no idea it only says 250whps and the socket is supper fat.

Well you need a ballast so if you dont think it has a built in ballast it probably doesnt, in turn i wouldnt plug it in get a ballast pal

He is right man, you need a ballast. All lights except incandescents will require a ballast, unless they are listed and sold as Self ballasting bulbs. Oh.. If you want to avoid a ballast, you could always use a kerosine lamp... puts of huge lumens... and produces its own CO2 lol

It would be interesting to see what happens and the plug from the shade should not be able to plug into the wall socket anyway.
unless it was for a cfl or sumthin
