cfl mogul socket

can a cfl mogul socket be used with a hps or mh bulb? they look the same but i am going to assume no?

HPS and MH sockets have a special plug to plug into the ballast depending on the reflector brand (Hydrofarm....etc.)

The end of the socket wire plug (that you plug into the ballast) looks like this....

Not a question of mogul base but ballast system. Just because a bulb has a certain base doesn't mean it will operate in anything you screw it into.

gotcha ya. thanks.
