Ok so I'm going to start growing very soon I hope I have built a little grow box and I have everything setup except the lights. I have some cfl lights that I plan on using but I don't know how I'm supposed to hook them up. Do I have to buy like a wiring kit for a lamp or what? Someone please help I know that this probably doesn't make much sense

crack the base of those bulbs apart ( the plastic).

pay attention to each wires polarity!

bulbs can be wired together with short pigtails, and wire nuts. or soldered. (i used 14 gauge speaker wire) no sockets needed.
