Wiring your lights!

Hey guys I'm just curious as to how everyone wires their lights. I'm going to be having 24 23w CFL's coming in the mail tomorrow and tbh I don't know the best method of wiring them. Only thing I know I could do is go to home depot, waste a ton of money on 6' electrical cords and wire them to the light, but I feel like this not only isn't the best method, but it's also going to prove to be very messy in my cabinet to have 14 cords running all over! If anyone has any pictures to share that'd be great!

The system I bought just seems to have a bunch of Y fixtures all connected together into one plug. I have wired rooms I am finishing (non grow rooms) but was honestly more comfortable spending a little more and buying something frm someonevwho knows what he's doing(cfl-growlight.com). Just be careful, you don't want to fuck with electrical unless you know what you're doing.

Eh you'd have to be pretty dumb to mess up wiring a cord and ceramic light socket :P but it's the only way I can think of that will work easily. Unfortunately for me power strips aren't a very viable option for the inside of my space, sucks.

Well I found a very cheap vendor for wired plugs. I bought 25 for around $60 which aint bad considering most retailers charge around $5 a cord! What a load of shit! Check out this vendor though if anyone else is interested, they have some light sockets as well but not sure if they were pre-wired or not so I'm just gonna go lift some from home depot in all honesty, sorry folks but I'm tired of spending money! Having to cut down on smoking in order to finance this grow is quite hard ya know o_O

2-3 day shipping time not bad, I should have all my lights wired by the weekend assuming there aren't any delays due to this shitty weather coming in!
