Don't think you can make a light fitting you could try a scrap yard or something like that where you would find old street lights and they might have the same fitting or big garage lights or lamps improvise
Or you could order something like this (pic) off the internet just arrived today

HEY IF YOU WANT TO SELL ONE OF THESE ILL TAKE ONE iLL SEND YOU MONEY VIA WESTERN UNION. i'M IN LONDON OTARIO. IF YOU CAN'T FIND ANY e40 FITTINGS, YOU COULD ALWAYS SODER WIRES ON THE CAP. TRY ON A CHEAP BULD. I KNOW FOR A FACT IT WOULD WORK ON REGULAR BULB, BUT NOT SURE IF SODER WILL STICK TO THAT METAL ON CAP.

how come they only seem to sell these in the UK, search U.S. Ebay for dual spectrum cfl and you get nothing....
