So this is a hidden area of my house and I cleared it out. Its about 5 feet tall at the highest point and its goes back about 10 ft. So I can set it up in the back with some junk infront of it I should be good. The second pic is of the only spot where a light can go no plugs in the area. How can i get the power in there without running a wire out side this room. HELPP!!! seeds are gonna be ready tomorrow!!!

You want to get power from that light fixture?...
you can just get a power bar and cut the end off, prep the wires and put some marettes on them. then just turn on the light switch

Well, If you're not sure what you're doing, I would suggest simply running an extension cord into the room. The heavy duty cords I use are rated at 1850 watts (Watts == Volt. x Amp). But, if you know how many amperes the circuit can handle (ie you have a meter, or know where it's coming from) then it would be much easier to just install a 15-20 amp electrical socket in the room. Again, if you don't know about all of this, then just hide an extension cord wherever possible. Don't overload a circuit though. From a single electrical socket, I wouldn't recommend running more than 1440 watts from it. ( 80% of 15 amps == 12 amps. 120 volts x 12 amps = 1440 watts). Be careful with the juice!
