CFL light fixtures

Hey guys, i just want to know if someone could provide me with a link of where to buy light fixtures for CFLs.

I just want to simply connect the bulb, via wire to the outlet. Nothing else. I want to be able to just hang these so that i can adjust them easily. Idk what these simple connections are called and am having a hard time finding them online.

Everytime i look up light fixture, all i can find are those big fancy looking fixtures. All i want to be able to do is connect bulbs to a socket that just has a wire that goes to the plug. Track sockets that are connected would be perfect.

If anyone has a better idea than this, please chime in.

Thanks.

lol it does look pretty f***ing amazing. I hope i can get to half where you are, and i'd be happy as hell. Also, i have a bunch of CFLs lying around that are pretty new, but they don't have tell me what light spectrum they are. The only info on it says 30 watt, 60 hz. Is there a way to determine the spectrum? I know i should use around 6000k for veg, and than around 2700k for flowering. I just don't want to waste a bunch of CFLs if they are the right spectrum.

if its orange its either 3000k or 2700k

lol. would it sound stupid if i said it looks white. It doesn't look red at all though. I'd say more blue. But in all actuality it looks almost perfectly white. Oh and it also says 400mA if that helps

you can get bulb reflectors cheap at lowes, they come prewired and everything, you just plug em in and screw a y socket and some bulbs in
