Lighting Fluorescents

[Langley66]

Hi guys
Yesterday iv found circular flurescent (osram) at local market, in sale for 1€ each.
40w 3800lumens each and i tought it was worth to get them even if dont know how the hell fluorescent tubes works.
So, do they need a ballast or only the g10q socket
If ballast is required, can i use one to run 2 lamps? What should i do to make em work?

What's the fitting on the end? If it's round threaded or bayonet (UK) then you just need a light socket. If it's small pins or small socket for pins , then it will need a transformer/driver/thingy!
