How to hook up 4 pin CFLs

[upinvapor]

Hey,

I have some 42W SLI Lighting Lynx TE 4pin CFLs that are 3200 Kelvin. I am wanting to use some of these for my grow but do not know how to hook them up since they do not have a screw base like most other bulbs I have seen. Any links or ideas for this? I have been searching but only found stuff on screw in bulbs. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

you will need a special ballast and plug/connector for those lights. they are mainly used in commercial buildings. one ballast can usually run 5+ 42watt bulbs they will sell them in most stores home depot/lowes.

Thanks! I decided to just use regular CFLs. I found a place to get those other kind cheap but it does not seem worth it.
