I made my own light hod also. I took on of those bathroom light fixtures (chrome), added the Y splitters, and screwed in aluminum "wings". There is now 8 26w bulbs (and 2 65 watt flood lights for 3 plants). It has to be the brightest thing that Ive ever looked at. I stared at it for longer than I guess I was supposed to (little baked at the time..lol), I saw these 8 black dots for a few hours..HAHA! I made it all for like $25... I love home made shit...!

what kind of light is the flood light, cause if it's a halogen or incadesent it won't do any thing for you but add unnessary heat and added energy cost.... Hope it's a cfl


Edit:
Do you have any pics of your set up or a link to your grow???

I will shortly. Built in a dresser that matches the rest of my furniture. They are 2 Flourex 65 watt enclosed fixtures(4550 lumens, 6500k). They draw 800mA or .8 of an amp. They will run on 120v. I can hook up 15 of these to on wall socket without blowing a fuse. I built the bathroom fixture so when the plants get bigger I can separate the sockets them selves and place them around the plants for side lighting. Here is the light..
