I dont have any links but if you roll over to home depot and check their outdoor lighting and security light section you will find 40,60,80,100w cfl's and they are NOT equivalents... they are replacement bulbs for cfl security lights and are in a white box. and are about 15-20$ a bulb depending on the wattage.. or you can just fork out 40 bucks more and get a 150w hps light.

For those of you looking for the lighting fixture, as I did. Here's a 3 light one from Lowes for $9.87, they also have a 4,5,.... and so on, just search the term Portfolio in lighting.

how'd you wire your lights if ya dont mind me asking

 

[daveg1i]

polarity doesnt matter, you just use the 2 coated wires and wire them to a plu(extension cord, fan cord) the fixture has 3 wires but one is a nuetral( it has no coating, snip it off or just stick it back in the fixture) its as simple as that man 2 wires from the fixture 2 wires from your plug. hook em up and dont forget to electrical tape them bitches...peace
