I suspect that it is a mogul base bulb, it's going to need a ballast to operate. Do you have one?

You have 2 options. Go to where you bought the bulb and buy the light it goes in (probably an outside flood light costing $100) or go to any decent growing supply store or website and buy a HPS complete setup. HTG supply sells 175W lights complete for less than $100. Be back. Wife makes me go outside to smoke.

At my hydro store they sell 100 w 2700k CFLs for $77. It would kick the shit out of a 100 w HPS. They are supposed to be the equivalent of 400 w. Much cheaper than HID without the heat issues.

Who does your research? Apx 65 lumens per watt is the norm. Get your facts straight dude. No need to be an ass.

Efficacy and efficiency
For more details on this topic, see Luminous efficacy.
Because the eye's sensitivity changes with the wavelength, the output of lamps is commonly measured in lumens, a measure that accounts for the effect of the source's spectrum on the eye.
The luminous efficacy of CFL sources is typically 60 to 72 lumens per input watt of electric power,
