Default CFL installation for a grow box
permalink
Hey guys. I'm making a grow box and I'm good with carpentry but electrics aren't my thing. How do you set up a couple rows of CFL's and is it possible to make these to plug into a normal outlet?

probably the easiest way to do would buy 2-4 of the domed clamp lights .. they are about $6-7 apice and just take the dome off and drill a hole where ya want them most are rated to 150watt so you can easily put multiple expanders on them for cfl's

Thanks for the quick reply. I just watched http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs_QRorECvo and he basically just wires a CFL fixture to a lamp chord (i think?). Do-able?
