So for the lights.
I have built a adjustable 3 pane light frame.
5 kleat sockets
all wired in a series ending with only 1 plug. used 18-2 wiring which should give me a range of at least 1000w at the short length the cable is. no more than 6' long
9 Y-splitters
14 cfl lights
8 2700k
4 6500k
frame is made out of 2 pieces of 1"x 8" and i piece of 1"x 5" held together using two adjustable corner brackets. easy bending.
