4x26 watt cfls. 400watts for $50

so this is pulling 104watts? and outputting 400w?
i got two cheap clamp sockets and 2 bulb splitters for ~$40 and the bulbs are less than 6 for 13 at wallmart?

8cent a watt. how much do you pay?

welll not to say outputting 400w. but the equivalent photos or whatever?

2x$13 (http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=203219-1373-FL-302PDQ&lpage=none)
2x$3 bulb spliters
1x$5 timer
4x$2 the cfl bulbs

lol nooo it does not pull 104 watts and throw out 400 watts, it uses 104 watts of energy to produce the same amount of light a 400 watt incadescent would put out.
You should really pay no attention to the wattage on those things and just look at the lumens.

Yeah the larger wattage number is only how it relates to incadescents

yea, some one said i should get cfl's at a local store. than proved to be wrong. im thining about ordering a few 65w full spectroms for 1000bulbs. is that agod $$?

I was actually headed to Home Depot in the next few days planning on doing this exact same thing.
Did the splitter with two CFLs in it fit into the clamp socket? Is the metal shade on the clamps big enough for 2 CFLs to fit?
Oh, and where did you get the timer and splitters at? Home Depot, Lowes or somewhere similar?

get the bigger of the 2. i think its 8in, but year they hold 2x bulbs each.

and my hang 1 incjh above my plants on the cord.
