Starting a small contained indoor perp. (lighting?)

[immaculate]

Hey guys.

I've got a large cabinet that measures 18in. w x 23 in. deep x 7 foot high. It's got adjustable shelving the whole way up in .5 inch increments. I think it would be a perfect container to do a perp in. I was thinking about doing everything completely CFL, probably PL-Ls...

Does anyone know where I can find information on construction/wiring/ballasts? The lighting is really what I'm trying to figure out here.

Thanks for reading

I'd use cfl's for a veg area (and you've got 7' to work with, which is enough for a multistage grow box) and a 150w hps or 250w hps for the flowering chamber.

I was hoping to run PL-L's for the veg and flower chambers..whatever is going to be easier on the electric....im not looking to go any bigger than 700 watts...im interested in finding specific info on custom wiring PL-L lights/ballasts...ive seen it done in some grows..thanks for the link, dansbuds..i was looking for that...i didnt see anything in there that specifically answered my question though :S
