Nothing personal my man but have you ever seen the size of a 400 Watt HPS or MH bulb? The socket diameter is easily double the size of a standard bulb not to mention the standard lamp cord would melt (you want a grounded plug as well). Keep in mind that fire is a possibility with HID lights. But as my man said you do need a ballast.
