Ok, basically what you can do to wire one light socket is to take a cheap extension cord (the long 8' ones that allow you to plug 3 cords into it) and cut off the female end (not the plug-into-the-outlet end) strip the cord and you split the wiring inside evenly (if there are 14 total copper wires inside split them into (2) 7-wire bundles for example) and roll those around the two screws located under the light socket. screw down those two screws so that the wiring is secured to the underside of the light socket. plug in your light, or your Y splitter into the socket and put 2 lights on each of the Y splitter's sockets. then just take the whole thing and screw it into whatever you want, be it a wood plank, sides of your sterilite container, etc.
