electricity can be a dicey topic man, if it isn't done right the consequences can be dire so maybe folks are holding back because they don't want to give bad advice.doesnt anybody know how to do this?
also look into led grow lightbulbs (for light sockets) pretty cool idea i saw once, guy mixed a the right LED bulbs and had fat plants
...wow, could it be this simple, lol.buy a bathroom light fixture and screw in Y splits . theysell them in 3,4,5,6 and even 10 at home depot. Mount it to a piece of wood with hooks and u have a fixture
i actually am doing that. but i have like 4 fixtures. i wanted to know if i could run them all to the same light switch though
yes you can, just plug them into a single surge protector and i'm sure you'll be fine. ...and that single surge protector puts all fixtures on the same switch, ...easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Depends on the rated amps of the switch & wire you are using. It will say on the switch. *Hint* if you paid a buck or 2 for it, it's most likely a 15 amp switch. 20 amp will run more like 5 or 6 dollars. If in doubt, figure on 15 amps max. I would also suggest backing down off the 15 amp max just to provide a safety factor. 12 would be a safe max for me. If you are only running 78 watts you have much room to spare. Another thing to keep in mind is to match your wire size to your switches/recepticals. No.14 wire=15 amps No.12 wire=20 amps. De-rate accordingly.
