Is this a self-ballasted bulb?

Yes but it requires a special Mogul which is available on amazon for less than $10.00.

Yes, but it is a mogul base which requires a special larger socket (readily available online or at hardware stores).

Yes.It's an LED bulb.It is built into the unit. They can't be replaced seperately.

Yes. We have had no problems with it. Have bought the same bulb in the past.

the reason for the ballast is to convert DC into AC. So if you're replacing one, as long as it's for a 35w hid bulb, it'll work perfectly.

Yes it is. As rick said buy this bulb. DO NOT buy a cheap one. I have bought the other cheaper ones and it is a waste of money. They will not last. I got this one and it has been going since the first of the year and is still burning like a champ. Our tv is on for no reason 16 or more ours a day lol.

I have wondered the same thing. I have not tried it because I dont want to waste money on bulbs that dont function with this light. Having worked with lighting extensively through out the years i dont think it will work., the ballast probably wont light them and if it does they may not light fully. If any one else tries it please let the rest know. Sorry this wasn't much help

Yes, it is self contained. Great fixture. My only problem was the need to replace the bulb(s) rather early.

If it comes on at all, it should be wired correctly. The bulbs and ballast have nothing to do with the sensor, which is what tells the switch to operate. I would suspect the sensor may need to be re-positioned to better see the motion.

I ask my husband. He said there is no electronic ballast. He would know since he is and electrician.

This is a photograph of the light bulb. It worked in my fan. The ballast is a different issue. Sam L.

At first I thought this was kind of a funny question...but then I went and picked up my backlight, and sure enough, when I tilted it back and forth it does sound like there is something very small inside that is moving! My BF says that it is the ballast and that it is perfectly normal.

I bought one from this company so you wouldn't be buying it from me. That being said, I haven't inspected the light but I would guess its a standard bulb given the price.

Yes, this is an LED Light fixture - no need for a ballast. The original were a small flourescent tube hence the ballast. It is actually a nice replacement - very bright. Good day.

Hamhock is correct; not to be found in your average retail store at all. Also, if possible before ordering- make sure it is the bulb you need and not the ballast! I bought two bulbs only to find out later it was the ballast which had failed, argh!

Yes. This bulb does need a ballast. This particular bulb is meant to run off of an 400 watt high pressure sodium ballast with an S51 mogul socket.

yes, but no, the light must have a ballast, and the plug between a HID light and the ballast tend to be proprietarythe ballast plugs into a wall socket, so yes, it's a standard plug

The answer is yes. I had it inserted into my outside lamp and it worked (when it wanted to). I liked it at first because it seemed to do what it stated it would do, but after a while, it came on when it wanted to and shut off when it wanted to. I personally don't recommend this bulb.
