CLF sockets?

[stayboatin.]

So i found these sockets at HomeD that are perfect and easy to mount except for the fact that they dont have wires. Since I dont want to burn my house down i was wondering what i should do. I want to run 120 watters in them and i dont know what gauge wire to use and if wiring them to a power cord would be a good idea. Also would it be stupid to run 3 on one power cord.

You can go to wal mart, somewhere right near the light bulbs. $5.96 for a "lamp replacement fixture". Insert wires into socket, tighten screws, insert bulb.

Running 3 at once would be fine, provided you dont exceed the fixture, extension cord, or adapter's volt/amp

There are alot of ways to mount/use CFL's. Alot of different fixtures to use. You mention 120 watts. Some more info would be good. Where are you using them? etc.

Not that this is going to help at all but im using them in a closet in a cab...They're gonna be 120-150 watt envirolites 3000k(you know the ones that are self-ballasting). I though i made my question pretty to the point but w/e.

You are running simple fluoros though. You're not going to burn your place down. Make sure to ground to be safe. You can even surge protect. You might be able to add a simple Gfi as well.
