it says it requires G 25 medium base light bulbs can i put 55W CFL's in there to use to grow? it says 60 w max so thats all good, im just curious about the bulb type...please help!

if anyone can provide a link on how to wire it to an ext. cord to plug into my socket that would be great too!

Look at this:

Lets look at some Clamp Reflectors:



The above are the CHEAP ones, and not durable.

Below are the very good ones:


IF you see PLASTIC on the Clamp Reflector, they are cheap and flimsey and you should avoid them.

I have come to believe that 2 42 watt bulbs, in one Clamp Reflector is the most efficient, cost effective way to provide light to your Grow.
You also need one of these

and two of these




Available in black or cream colored at Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot and any Hardware store, about $1.69 to $1.99.
They are used to put two 42 watt CFLS in one Reflector.

I also like these:



1 to 4 Sockets Adapter A4E27


This adapter will allow 4 bulbs to be installed in one socket. Each socket on the adapter can support up to 250W, so it support up to 1000W in total.


I have seen these lined up and used in a Surge Protector:


Or try two of these :


in one of these:



One in each side. There is a socket on the bottom of this that u can not see.


One of those equals 3 sockets all 90 degrees apart.


OR

why not put 4 or 5 of these in a surge Protector, you will already have the wire.

Take a heavy duty extension cord, cut the female end off strip back the three wires, wire black to black, white to white green to green, or copper, and wrap each one with black electritians tape....
