Ahhhh I had totally forgotten about the timer fuck..now what to do?
ok how about ditch the light switch and wire all lights together with a plug and buy a cheap timer and replace switch with a outlet
plug timer into it and plug lights in
very simple

Replacing the swi.tch with a outlet is a better idea since I don't need the switch ..but my new lights have no plug for the outlet ..thanks for helping out

Hey, just a piece of advice...don't fuck with electrical if you're unsure of what you are doing. It's easy to cause a fire by overloading an existing circuit. There is no shame in asking for help and getting it right the first time as you might not get a second chance if you fuck up. Electrical fires are no joke and u can rest assured your insurance, if you have coverage, will not cover these types of mishaps. Schematics are easy to follow so you should be cupping FAB's pollen sack. Just fuckin around...well done FAB.

damn thats a nice looking thing you got there. how do you plug that to a outlet?
one plug on cfl
and one with ballast to run 400 watt metal halide and a 4 foot 4 bulb t-8 thats just for part of veg area
i run 2 400w hps and a 400 w hps conversion bulb in a metal halide ballast in flower room

so trust me if i say i can get u set up safely

Most 120w equiv. cfl I see are 30 watts, about 1900 lumens output.
Your picture looks like 6 bulbs. You might could veg. with just 3 but I'd rather have more and definitely more for flower. I'd get some pie plates for reflectors, I always punch holes to let heat on through.
