Do mh/hps bulbs work in regular lamps

I need a real simple answer in plain english. I don't know if i've been looking in the wrong places but I can't find a cheap set so I was wondering, "Do mh/hps bulbs work in regular lamps". :confused:

no, but compact florescents do, they are a great way to start growing
do some research on cfl growing, color spectrum is everything

good luck

No. Simply put, Most HID bulbs have a ballast and socket rated for them specifically.
