Pretty easy to do really...

Heres a couple simple wiring diagrams to help you out.



Image 1 shows you how to wire your lights to a single pole switch so you have an easy way to turn them on/off without having to unplug them.


Image 2 shows how to wire 6 sockets on one cord with no switch. (unplug to power off)

I don't think thats too safe though honestly.

The wiring remains the same no matter how many sockets you want on a board. But I wouldnt go with more than 4 on a single outlet.



Heres the home depot shopping list

4x porcelain or plastic light receptacles (sockets) = $6
Pack of good quality 25' 14 gauge *BLACK* wire = $5
Pack of good quality 25' 14 gauge *WHITE* wire = $5
Lamp cord to plug in = $3
Plastic electrical box (Single-Gang) = $1.50
Wire nuts/connectors, Package of 12 = $1
Electrical tape = 50cents
Single-pole lightswitch = 50 cents
Face plate for switch = 30 cents
18" board to mount and wire them all on = free from scrap wood

Learning to make your own light-board so you can give your babies more lumen powered love = Priceless


I think Latewood said he was writing a step by step FAQ on how to do this, but if he doesn't, I might .
