I Need a Fixture for some CFLs, someone help me
umm alarm clocks arent usually grounded so you may want to get an extension cord with a ground or make your own with a male plug and a length of 14/2 wire with ground (that is 14 gauge wire with 2 wires and ground wire, so 3 wires actualy but called 14/2)
unless your alarm clock has a ground wire in it then ignore what i said
Edit: actually sorry you probablky be good without ground i ran cfls without ground and no problems.. however if you have many of them together id recommend grounding

If you want to add your own power cord, I suggest the 'power tool replacement cords' sold at Home De POT in the extension cord section. They are grounded, have a SAFE plug at one end, and 3 wires (hot, neutral, ground) at the other. Don't forget your wire nuts! That is the only SAFE way to join two wires together and protect them from touching, shorting, coming undone, etc. later.
