go to lowes and buy a vanity light with 3, 4, 5 or 6 sockets, the six socket is 20 bucks

dude,im a electrical noob to start off

got to HD buy the 3 light bathroom vanity chrome light for $7.85, 3 y splitters and a powercord. i use one of these in both of my cabs, i have really seen no increase in my bill @ all, very cost effective , i pulled 2.2 0's off 2 small fems, and now working on batch #2, good luck. the wiring is EASY. BLACK TO BLACK WHITE TO WHITE AND GREEN TO GREEN. THAT IS IT! (use proper black electrical tape to secure wire ends)

Go to lowes and buy a 10 inch clamp on reflector and three y sockets ,screw in one y then screw the other two y's into it. This gives you four cfl's in one clamp on fixture and no wiring to deal with....hope this was helpful....

the vanity lite has two wires, buy lamp wire and a plug you can take apart with a screw driver, and wire the two wires to the lamp cord and the lamp cord to the plug, simple, use the twist connectors or electrtic tape for the wire.
