light connection and timer questions

I'm going to grow 2 plants with cfl's and was wondering how do I go about connecting these lights. The only way ive heard to do this so far is by taking apart an old lamp. I dont want to have to take apart 4 or 5 lamps for all the bulbs. Do they sell these connections without the lamp part? If so what store

Also for the timer part is there some sort of an extension cord with a timer that I can connect all my lights and fans to? also what store?

Thanks.

i think they have a 2 light socket without a reflector at home depot or lowes. same with the timer, i dont think it comes with the cord but you plug the cord into it.
