g24 4 pin fixture help
I'm trying to power these bulbs, they're 42w g24 4 pin bulbs
https://www.amazon.com/Sylvania-4-Pa...QSL&ref=plSrch but I'm not sure if it's the same as doing a fixture for e27 cfl's? for the e27 types you can simply wire at least 6 together using some cable, power cord and a few simple items like connectors, and I guess a junction box. would I just need some g24 sockets like the ones in the pic, some cable and power cord? and stuff I mentioned like for the e27 cfl's or do these require more stuff like a ballast? I looked everywhere for someone trying to do a g24 4 pin fixture and I can't find anything.

Problem is I'm not so knowledgeable when it comes to electricity, I was just gonna go by a YouTube video, but needing a ballast would change the steps I need to do, and add to the price.

There are much better choices for lights available. What are you trying to light? Grow?
