you can find either the "Y" type splitters (turns one socket into 2) or a multiple outlet bathroom type fixture at home depot or lowe's etc...the "Y" adapters are probably in small bins by lightbulbs somewhere and should be like 1-2$

kinda depends on how you want your lights arranged to figure out what kinda fixture would work best for you though...

Note that to go into clamp reflectors the Y adapters often have to be extended with one of the things that screw into a socket, have two outlets on the sides, then another socket on the end.

Lets look at some Clamp Reflectors:



The above are the CHEAP ones, and not durable.


Below are the very good ones:


IF you see PLASTIC on the Clamp Reflector, they are cheap and flimsey and you should avoid them.

If you plan on using a 105 watt CFL bulb in a Clamp Refector, you will need one of these:



I have come to believe that 2 42 watt bulbs, in one Clamp Reflector is the most efficient, cost effective way to provide light to your Grow.
You also need one of these

and two of these




Available in black or cream colored at Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot and any Hardware store, about $1.69 to $1.99.
They are used to put two 42 watt CFLS in one Reflector.

I also like these:



1 to 4 Sockets Adapter A4E27


This adapter will allow 4 bulbs to be installed in one socket. Each socket on the adapter can support up to 250W, so it support up to 1000W in total.


I have seen these lined up and used in a Surge Protector:


Or try two of these :



in one of these:



One in each side. There is a socket on the bottom of this that u can not see.


One of those equals 3 sockets all 90 degrees apart.

Thanks Smile and Roseman.

I went to the store before both of your posts and ended up getting 2 Y splits. I need to go back and get two extenders for my clamp reflectors though. I appreciate the help.
