Will an (HPS) light bulb work in a regular light fixture

Will an (HPS) light bulb work in a regular light fixture?

No it will not

You need a “ballast” and it must specify the “wattage” and type of bulb (HPS, MH, CMH, MV,) It’s a high voltage transformer that ignites the bulb and regulates the amount of electricity during and after “warm up” (ballast).

OK thanks. that’s all I needed to know
