You could use zippy ties, though I doubt very highly that your cfl will burn through the string without direct contact.

why dont you just screw it in the cord and hang it ??? im so confused......

also its better IMO to have MORE bulbs..... rather than 1 200watt bulb..... try using a variety of 23watt and 40watt.... this way light reaches all areas of the plant VS just the top of it

I think he is talking about a mogul socket.
