Heh, CFLs are no hassle. WalMart sells for a buck or two adapters that let you plug the light directly into a socket, and 1-to-2 socket adapters. In three minutes, for about $5 or $10 (not counting bulbs), you can have the 'wiring' done for 8, 12, 16 bulbs, whatever you want. That ain't much hassle. If you don't have 3 minutes to devote to the task, you probably don't have enough time to grow anything anyway. It took me longer to install my HPS light than it did eight CFLs.
