^^^ I assume these would hold 1 light bulb. with a cord on each end of the holders on each end of the fluro.

Am i right?
No, you cannot plug a fluro tube directly into the mains, you need a ballast and a starter. That is unless you use CFL's. But a basic fluro tube is a NO NO. Check out what electronics are in the box behind the tube if you have one at home. Remove the bulb and take the back plate off.
