i think the GES lampholder cfl,s are different . it comes with an electronic ballast. probably no space in the lamp due to the wattage. i have never installed them but seen it advertised. hotflo in maitland sells them.

The one's I have has an E40 base and no other switch gear was supplied. Only the lamps.
I know that they do work if I screw them directly into a fitting with no ballast inside but I am not sure if I should try these in the new hi bay fittings fitted the other day without having the ballast removed.
I shall have to get the sparky in again to do the change if I cannot go the easy route.

You may never know what results will come from your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no results... Rudy Malan † 05/03/2011
As Sparks says, make the switchgear redundant and just connect power directly to the lampholder.Originally Posted by Martinco
If you know for a fact a lamp runs without a ballast connected then there's a very good chance you'll destroy the lamp quicksticks if you put it in a fitting that still has a ballast connected.
