Pressure Sodium Light
If I buy a Metal Halide Bulb and a High Pressure Sodium bulb will they fit in a household light fixture?
If not, what do I need in order to use these bulbs. Keep in mind expense, and also I am not a d.i.y.er! So is there a cheap and simple way to get this to work?
You need the appropriate ballast fixture for the bulb. You can't use just a regular household light socket. You can look in the classifieds for people selling their used systems or you can lookup a hydroponics store in your phone book. The systems aren't cheap but they aren't that expensive either. Failing that, sell the bulbs and invest in fluorescents.
