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..

those lights are cool, they also come in 100w for not that much more. also get enuf to go on top and on the sides and you will be set....
