3 bulb cfl fixture ?

[lazy gardener]

can someone please review the wiring on this fixture I made up. it will be used to light up a dark corner.

flip side
I will smooth out the edges, add hooks and chain, and paint when I have this complete. by the way first time wiring in a series. thanks for your time

I don't know so much about wiring, but i would suggets some reflectix or aluminum tape around the bulb area to absorb a little heat and reflect the light

 

[lazy gardener]

thanks havent made it that far yet still want to plug it in first.

Are you following a diagram on wiring in parallel? Pictures a bit confusing but if it's wired like this...

You should be all good!

 

[Neekz]

Nice find btw on the re-purposed reflector! Should do the job fine! Plug-er-in and let us "see-the-light"! lol...

 

[lazy gardener]

dang Neekz. sometimes I dont get the pics to come through and sometimes they do well this time they didnt. thanks man for your effort. Its grounded to the fixture- all black tied together with pig tails ---- v -------v--------l
black from power cord into black on socket #1 then pigtailed to socket #2 then pig tailed to socket #3, same with the common

yea man cool thanks you very much, Ill go plug it. Im a roofer, electric I over think to much. got hit with a 400 watt bulb shoke the other day when I was sweating. fucking elbow hurt for 2 days and the nerve in my ass was just aggervating. at least it didnt blow out the tip of my pecker, cause thats my only friend

Once when i told my dad i wasn't afraid of electricity,
he said "that'll get you hurt thinking like that"
As long as we follow the science that is correct wiring, we will be able to achieve our goals.

Fun story: once i opened up a laptop's ac power cord , it wasn't getting voltage to the computer. I plugged it in and bent down to inspect it , in an instant it arced through my thumb and took the path of least resistance to ground, which was my foot. My nerves got a shock and i literally had a red mark on my foot for about a week where it arc'd to the floor.

got it installed

far right corner is where I wanted the fixture to go. gives off way more light than what the picture shows

 

[tehmaster]

Hoho look at that you got it working!! Hopefully it's nice and blinding

Do you have a grow thread or is this the one?

 

[lazy gardener]

nah had some stuff in one at the newbies corner but lost interest. that room is 3 days into flower now, just bushy nothing much else

 

[tehmaster]

Those look nice, you don't have to be too modest AT ALL !
