How To Build a CFL Grow Light Fixture – CHEAP!
Posted: September 20, 2010 – 2:28 pm
This light does a nice job for under $30 including bulbs. I suggest getting more powerful bulbs to really kick your growing up a notch. Here is a link to some nice ones that I plan to buy and install in this fixture: http://www.1000bulbs.com/105-Watt-Compact-Fluorescent/31681/
Comments welcome, thanks!

You Tube user betitalldiebroke sent these links and info to what he did:
I removed the the cage from the drop light, cut a hole in the hood, put the light through the hole, added the sockets, screwed in the bulbs and was done. I went with the 105watt CFL bulbs you linked.
