I believe you are asking; "do these lamps need the ballast"? The answer is no. The instructions provided tell you to bypass the ballast. That will apply 120 VAC to one end of the lamp and the neutral wire is applied to the other end. Wire Nuts are provided to help with making the connections. One more very important item is: TURN OFF ALL POWER TO THE FIXTURE while making wiring changes. Thank you for your support, Nature's Electric Inc.

I bought three of these lamps and use 3 way bulbs in all of them with no problems. Since they advertise use with 3 way bulbs, there may be a malfunction with your lap.

The lamp comes with the light bulbs and they are flame shaped. I have seen these types of bulbs where I shop.

Hate to say but seems we're mostly a 'disposable' type society - not sure if you can find a box or contact any product info line from mfg'r or perhaps if you have a lighting/electrical distributor/store you could ask in their parts dept. It is a nice lamp however, good luck.

Need a transformer feeding a power cord to which the lamps attach where you want them.

The lamps are sealed and should provide wet-weather operation with no problems. If mounted on a boat trailed, they should be ok as long as they are not submerged for a prolong period.

NO However, they are not water proof and with exposed contacts, could short out. Note that the center for a connection is supposed to be positive but often is not. The lamps will not work unless polarity is correct, they are diodes after all.

I see Ott light products/lamps in various stores (frequently 'craft/art supply stores). Haven't needed new parts yet, but pretty sure you could get. If nothing else, could likely get directly from company.

No need to worry with the Factory Transformer. Use Lamps provided in the Box that are design for this fixture. If and when these lights need to be replace, please find them in Home Depot or any Hardware Store. Enjoy the lamp.!!!

I don't have this problem, but it sounds like you have an electrical short in the lamp. I would return it. Good luck.

The bulbs inside the lamp are not fixed firmly. They are attached to a spring which is inserted into the actual space in the salt then it expands. One of them had completely come out when I received them. I have bought this kind of lamp before and the chord coming out of the lamp is securely attached to the base which hold the whole thing safely. I think these lamps are not safe

Indeed you do need a balast in order for these hid lights to function, these are just for replacement of burnt out bulbs.
