CFL light board?

[B2K]

I've seen a few people on here with large boards shaped like refelctors with light sockets for CFL's wired up all over them. Can anyone refer me to a DIY for doing this with 12+ CFL's?

I dont have a tutorial link for you but there are many different ways to do it. If you have grow set up now you should list what you have so people can provide you with something that works with what you have bought.

I know at Lowes/Home Depot in the ventilation section they have curved thin pieces of metal. All you would have to do is put some holes in your your outlets, you could probably fit 12 if you use Y-splitters. Instead of outlets you could mount a power strip with AC to Edison adapters and Y-splitters.

I already use a power strip with 3 Y-splitters and 27w's with a few on the sides. What I want to do is use a 3x3 ft board and cover it with 5 rows of 5 lights so 25 CFL's altogether, I just don't know how to wire it up. Do any of you guys know how to?

Curious to see what other people have done with thiers. I've been wondering what is the cheapest most efficient way to make an efficient fixture for my CFL's.
