Regarding 300w CFL

[TheBookmark]

Hey guys, typical newb here with what prob seems like dumb-ass questions but I need some help.

I bought a 300w CFL, its a Giant Edison Screw type as far as I know.

I have been to lots of stores looking for a holder big enough to screw this bulb into and have had no luck. Could someone please tell me a store that sells one or point me to site online.

Oh and I'm from the UK, tried homebase, maplin etc.

Thanks

You can use a mogul socket from an HID fixture and change the cord to service the type lamp you wanna use.. Add a mogul adapter that screws in the mogul socket and then screw in your bulb.. You have no need to buy another fixture.Use what cha got.. NOT a dumb-ass question!:thumbsup:

Well I dont really need one, but it looks better than the one I made myself and I guess in the longrun it would work out better, and safer! :P
