was wondering if u could place a Y fitting in a socket,then place 1 or 2 more Yfitting's onto that?
or would that be to much? the light's would just be 13watt or 26watt cfl's
well any replie's advise would be great thanks

YOU CAN!!! But the Y sockets themselves should have a max rating, probally just above 500 watts, so basically dont have more than 25 bulbs running off 1 socket...

In the long run it is actually cheaper to buy normal sockets connected to lamp style cords and Y them out just once though...

To also add to this, check the fixture sockets too, they have a max rating too, dont exceed that number either.
