Almost finished with my Cab (suggestions?)

Hello,

I have been working on finishing my flowering cab and am almost done. I was really seeing if anyone had any good advice for me. Here is a sketchup of the cab.

The shelf can be raised and lowered. I am mounting CFLs at the top on the back wall.

I was considering adding 2 3" passive intakes on the bottom left and my 120mm 85cfm fan to the top right.

I have all the materials to make the pencil holder carbon filter but am a little unsure how to keep the carbon or the inner container from falling out when I turn it side ways to mount it to the fan.

I am open for any and all suggestions. I dont want to start cutting and then get some great advice on how I should finish setting it up.

Thanks.

sorry no suggestions on mounting your filter but this sounds like a fun build have fun..

The cab is painted completely flat white now. After several frustrating hours I think I have it light proofed. The weatherstripping was hard to figure out seeing as the door is warped a little. I hope it is good now.

I have a 4 socket bathroom light fixture that I am going to dismantle to wire in the cab. I am clueless on how to do this but I am going to try to figure it out.

u got to use panty hose to keep carbon in and dont forget to put some window screen over intakes to keep moths and other bugs out
and if u need advice on wiring hit me up with a private mess. and a pic and i can walk u through it
dont want u to do anything that is unsafe

So I was seeing if I could wire these lights up, which I could (way easier than I thought). I was trying to see how I wanted to mount them But that got me thinking. I saw in Home Depot just the plastic fixture. And .

I was going to go with the prewired because I wasnt confident in my abilities, but after looking at how it was done I think I could certainly do it.

The problem: The bathroom fixture was only $13. Some sockets are $2 some are $8. So I could come out cheaper and spread the lights out a little more if I got the $2 sockets. The problem is I may not be able to mount the sockets like they need to be mounted due to lack of mounting screws or whatever.

The bathroom fixture is for moist environments. I dont plan on having a ton of moisture, but I also dont want a fire.

I now come to the pros to ask for a suggestion. Just mount the lights at the width predetermined. (I could get the 3 socket which would reduce my cost my light and amount of space) or try to wire up some different sockets?

get some y splitters and u can spread them lights

I have the Y splitters.

I am just not sure whether to go with the bathroom style mount or try individual mounts.

i like the individual mounts more flexibility

Okay. What kind of light socket to you recommend mounting with the individual mounts? Do I need some separate wire? And how do I handle the ground wire if I do separate sockets?

Sorry for so many multiple questions, but this is what I need to do before going into Home Depot.

I knew I would come up with a good plan.

Here it is: I can get the surge protectors. I can run 4 bulbs in the surge protector mounted on the back of the cab. I can link surge protectors together and run 2-3 bulbs on the side of the cab with one surge protector on each side. Then run the first surge protector into the timer.

Even if I only did this on one side, it seems like it would be easier to mount and take up less room while not sacrificing light.

What do you guys think?
