Where can i get those y spillter. I couldnt find any at home depot.
I have bought them at Home Depot, Walmart and Lowes. I'm sure all three have them.

Also is it better to use y splitters and use 12~14 42 watts or get those cclamp reflectors and put them on top of plants and put those y splitters on side?

I have bought a ton of the smaller 42 watt 2700K cfls, and I use them on
the sides, for flowering. I put an extension in the Clamp Reflector, and then a Y spliter, and use two 42s.
I could only find "daytime" 42 watts cfl's only and mostly are lower wattage. Also they have a 2700k 60 watt CFL which wouldnt work for me since i plan on using the CFLS mostly for veg and try to get new lighting.
So where can i get the y splitters and regular bulb sockets with a cord? I could only find the whole thing with clamps and reflectors.
Thanks

Home Depot, Walmart and Lowes.
