I'm trying to find light bulb sockets, the ones with the prongs at the end and plug the bulb into the other side. I don't really know what exactly they are called, so that might be why I can't seem to look them up. If anyone can enlighten me on what the proper name is, or provide a link to where I can buy some it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and take care!

Yeah i believe thats whats he's talking about, its what i use in my pc's. some lowes and homedepot and walmart have stopped carrying them in my area. lucky, i got about 20 extra of them when i started my CFL grows they were actually 99 cents and the Y splitters were 1.49. Amazing how price changes lol

i would get a shop light like this http://www.walmart.com/ip/Bayco-8.5-Clamp-Light/14003467 and add a y socket. this would allow you to move light up and down easier and no chance of heavy cfl pulling light out off socket or fire hazard. just my 2 cents

That's a good idea. It would be more effective in directing the light. However I don't know one of these will fit in a PC box. Don't know if they make in different sizes, but the one my dad has are pretty large in comparison.
