Does anybody have experience using those 5 lamp flex lights with CFLs?

Gauging the possibility of splitting the 5 into 10, but wanted to get some thoughts on it. I think I'm overloading it already by having a 55w in their with 4 26w's. They are only rated @ 40w sockets? But the splitters are rated @ 600 watts? Confused.....:sleep:

I used the snake 5 light thing for a grow. it worked fine. i dont know about doing it 10 bulbs might wanna chill with that lol.
 
Well yeah I thought about it and I am just going to build a light, the sockets and stuff are rated MUCH MUCH higher than the flex lamp anyway, it was more of a convenience thing @ the time. I am thinking a mogul socket with some hulking electrical wire, a splitter to make 1 to 2 to 4 and buy 4 of those 105w CFL's Full Spec 5000K? Which would only load the total to 420w? Wow, lol swear to god didn't plan that out, anyway, that's my plan, they "claim" 10,000 lumens, I kind of doubt the accuracy, but still, it's a huge hulking bulb and I can probably find something to use as a relector there too. But does this sound like absolute jackass-ery? Or is it actually somewhat plausible? Any help from you electricians out there would be awesome....?
