New Grower Are these CFLs unbalasted?

[The Diamond Flush]

I went to home depot and picked up 2 65 watt CFL bulbs... I plug them up to my lamp and they dont work. Other lights work but these dont.... hmmm

All cfls have there own ballast. I would take them back and get some that work.

I mean, its not a coinsidence that BOTH dont work. Seperate packaging. Plus my little CFLs say "self balasted" these 2 do not say that.

Don't know what to tell you. Try putting them in a table lamp and see if they work in those.

maybe the whole batch of those bulbs got damaged in shipment, or stocking. Bring them back and get a different brand.
