I got a recommendation for a fantastic grow light bulb from my friend, but I'm not sure if I can just use it in a regular lamp. Do I need to buy a special grow light fixture for it? Is it safe to just install it in a standard lamp as long as the wattage is the same?

Totally! You can use a grow light bulb in a normal lamp. Just make sure the wattage is suitable. Also, some bulbs shouldn’t have a lampshade on them because that can cause overheating.
It really depends on the type of grow light you have. Just check the bulb specs and the wattage limits of your lamp. Most of mine are E26 base and work fine in regular lamps that can handle way more wattage than the LEDs actually use.
For sure! I don’t have a fancy setup; I just use a grow light in an adjustable desk lamp, which lets me direct the light where my plants need it most.
