hi, i am wanting to do a sml cfl grow and saw that everone is using what looks like vanity light fitting with y splitters. does anyone in the uk know where to get this equiptment from? as my asda ( wal mart ) has nothing like this in stock. i don't really want to use 6 or 8 plug sockets to get my lighting. also my local asda has 20w, 1200Lm, 2700k, warm white cfl bulbs only, i believe i need a different colour white also?
very confused, pls help :wall:

where did you get them from? I'm a bit para about buying stuff online, anyone else know i can get this stuff? tesco, asda, b&q? i would go round but need to make a special journey as i have a cast on my leg at the mo' if i know where to go i can make the effort to get there, but traveling from shop to shop on public transport in the uk is not my idea of a good day out. :cuss:

The 6500K cfl's are available in Focus DIY. Think they only do 12w / 950 lumen and they are a fiver each from memory. They have a blue stripe on the pack to help you identify them. Have a look at the top right of the bulb display.
Not looked for Y-splitters so I can't help you there.
