Help with Wiring Lights together

Hey there everyone. Need an issue resolved with my lighting schematic. Here is a couple pics to get an idea of what I am working with:



So, as you can see in the pics above, I have these three light bulb holders (each one holds two light bulbs), and I plan to connect them all together so that they run off one plug in or switch. The sheet metal I intend to cut in half to be used for two reflecting light fixtures, one for the veg and one for the flower stage. So, my question is, how do I connect these three things together so that they work off one power cord? Is this possible? Would a parallel or series circuit be best and how do I make sure I connect them this way?

As you can probably guess, I am not very good with electrical stuff and the whole wiring thing is new to me, so any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Black to black, white to white. If you're using a polarized plug (one blade is bigger than the other), connect your black wire to the smaller blade.

It must be parallel.
Tie all the blacks together and tie all the whites together.

So as long as the each hot wire and neutral wire are touching the hot and neutral wires connected to the power cord then it will work and be in parallel. Is this pic correct?

yes, good luck

Thanks for the help! better safe than sorry imo

If you use that diagram only the center light will work !!!!!!!!!!!
As stated above all 3 white ends together under the silver screw & all 3 black ends together under the brass screw.

Oh crap I see it now. Ner'mind.
Hmmm maybe its time for some reading glasses. Lol

Never put more than 1 wire end under a screw terminal. You pigtail multiple wires and always wrap clockwise.
All three fixtures will work in the diagram.
