  1. hey i jus bought a screw in HPS bulb (i forget the wattage) but it was around $30. do i need a balast for this or does it take a specific fixture for it to work?
     
  2. You will need a ballast and a hps fixture (socket , where you screw the bulb in)
     
  3. how expensive are those, and do i need a balast for each bulb?
     
  4. Search around.. and yes 1 ballast per bulb.
     
  5. you need the transformer the striking cap and a few other things including the proper ceramic socket for the bulb since some are different
