How many lights and in what kind of setup? I am going to wire mine (12 CFL's) with lamp cord.

I don't think wiring is a good idea for you. Use clip on shop lights and bulb Y sockets. No wiring involved. Just plug into power strip and turn on.

but then i will need individual timers for each

 

[misshestermoffitt]

plug the power strip into the timer.

I don't even use a timer. I watch the clock and turn them on or off when needed.

i guess i could use two power strips for my grow box. Which lights would u recommend i get

I would find someone you can trust to show you how to wire them or go with the clip on shop lights.

I used a 4 bulb bathroom fixture and used splitters so each bulb socket has 2 or 3 bulbs on it depending on the number of splitters. Each socket is rated for a 100w bulb so I can run one 42w and 2 26w bulbs off one socket I may have a pic
