I recently got 6 socket to set up for a veg room running Y adapters for a total of 12 CFL lights. But the problem is the light sockets have 4 screws on the back which to attach wire 3 gold and 1 silver i think. I was wondering which screw do i use to attach a 16/2 lamp cable and plug I was planing on running 1 socket per plug (2 lights each) plugging them into a 6 outlet adapter which will run of 2 wall outlets.

I say ... just start wiring shit .... plug more shit into that shit ..hit the breaker and see what kind of shit happens .. worst case scenario you loose your house . best case scenario you get 6 light bulbs to light up ... *shrug*

Ok, Here is a diagram of the bottem of the socket, From what I'f been told the two on the right side are both hot and the one silver on the left is the neutral, but idk what the other bronze on is. I know some about wiring stuff, from helping my dad out when i was younger. But idk with this.
