Yep Stone, will do. Have patience with me though. Got a lot going on right now.

Lookin good Noods :smokebuds: Hope the little lady is feelin better after the rough day.
Thanks Kindred! :buds: All of my girls are doing good. Even the green ones. (that's hoping the green ones are all girls) :smoke:
Ok Stone, this is my current chaos. The upper right hand corner of this picture gives evidence to the tweaking I've been speaking about. My weekend starts tomorrow (tonight, actually) and it's supposed to be sunny tomorrow. I'm planning on putting all the little ones in my sunny window so I can do some house renovations for them.
This is the normal plastic piping that you find in the building supplies stores all over the place. Well, these are T-Joints for those pipes. They are tight fitting with rubber gaskets.
I was planning on putting some sort of safety gizmo connecting the top of the fixture to the bottom while they hang vertically to keep them from slipping apart, but don't need to. They are very tight and snug.
Oh, looky here! It's SD1! Little cute thing.
These are just plain old 3 for a Euro E27 sockets that fit right tight and firm in there, thanks to the rubber gasket in the T-Joint.
As you saw in the first pic, on the right side, it's four T-Joints stuck together, wired through, and hanging by these hooks on chains. Four holes here on top and four on the bottom so they can be hung horizontally as well.
The wiring is the hardest part. It's a bitch because it's like a puzzle, working inside and around the T-Joints. It's easy to figure out the puzzle, you just have to start one at a time and not with all the T-Joints connected. You have to:
- feed the wire into the end of the joint, and back out of the hole where the socket will be inserted.
- connect that wire and the lead that is going to the next socket in the next joint.
- insert the socket snugly into the joint.
- feed the second lead into the second joint, through the hole where the next socket will be inserted, and connect the second T-Joint to the first.
- repeat a few times.
Since you need a lot of play in the wires to be able to connect the sockets outside of the joint, you have a lot of wire inside for care free adjustments. Too much wire inside would be bad though, and cause congestion and stress and maybe sparks if you're unlucky enough.
I hope I could give you a little insight.
I know many people will think, "WTF? Why all the f'n work? Just buy something bigger and real." Well that's quite understandable. But I've already bought all these smaller bulbs and before I leave them laying around doing nothing, I'll just use them. I also just like the messing around with things and DIY'ing. And I like what these things will do as side lighting when these plants are at the stage where they will benefit from it. I'm ever the optimist and I can't wait for some Dangerous CFL Dragon Bud, for the sweet goodness of some CFL CC, and some laid back CFL Lowryder.
