I have never seen Y splitters, but i just buy a 2 pack of sockets from the local b&q and wire them in parrallel(£1.50 for 2). It's pretty easy to do and right now i have 10 fixtures equaling 200 watts of 2700k for flowering.

Hope that helps

I'm pretty sure they don't match up to the UK health & saftey regulations. I went everywhere to find them with no luck at all, even went to a specialist light warehouse.

Great link capt, for those reading in the UK, to get 8 of these (at $1 each) shipped to the UK it only costs $15.92, which means this is only costing £15.50 ish at the current exchange rate =]
