If you're in Finland, then no luck I'm afraid. I asked a guy at the hardware store for Y socket splitters and he said he's never seen them. Said it's probably because of the strict laws/regulations here. I don't know about the other Scandinavian countries though.

What I do is check around second-hand shops for light fixtures, sometimes you can find the kinds with 3 sockets for cheap. I've done plenty of research and browsing, and found that it's cheaper and more efficient to get an HPS system from Germany rather than messing around with CFL's, which are much more expensive here compared to the US and Canada. But if you want to stick with this project, check around some German or Dutch sites like this one: udopea, you can get 125w-200w CFL's for much cheaper than buying many smaller ones. Only problem then becomes the penetration, so maybe get a couple of those?

Hope this helps. Where are you from?
