Hey people

Ok now most parts are ordered and are already here i need some advice when wiring these babies, I have no clue on wiring things last time i played with electrics i blew up a screwdriver whilst poking the mains wire with it :O ( stupid i know :D )

Ok here is what i need to know, ive taken photos of the parts i have got here which is the wiring part.

1) Are these the right fittings?
2) Is this the right wire needed?
3) How do i wire these up together and attach them to a plug, which will be plugged into my plug sockets?
4) What plug will i need for this wiring?

I want to wire 10 of these fittings up together and attached to a plug

Photos of Equipment

Are attached i hope :D

Please Help
Thanks
Regards
Ben

What lights...you don't say?... as in what bulbs you using.
Wattage ..type etc etc. Without this info cant tell you anything.
Where you wanna plug em in?
What exactly are you TRYING to do ?
Cant tell you if fitting is oK without knowing bulb type.
Did I mention bulb type ?

Yer sorry the bulbs will all be 20-30 watt cfl's, there are the ES type but i do have 10 ES to BC converters so i can use the screw in bulbs in them fittings. I wish to plug them in to the sockets within my room like i said above, I want to know if these materials are right mainly the wire i have bought. I want to attached 10 of the fitting around my stealth grow cabinet and i want them all connected to 1 wire which i wish to place a plug on the end so i can plug in the sockets in my room, i have no idea how to do this so i am looking for some help.

Thx
Regards

Wire etc fine. brown to brown blue to blue .. same with plug.... uk standard 3 pin plug ... or whatever your country uses... no special stuff needed at all.
Just link first bulb holder to plug.... second bulb holder connected to first bulb holder.... 3rd bulb holder connected 2nd bulb holder and so on.

Well someone said a bulb is no more than half a watt anyway but ive decided to have 2 plugs either 5 lights on each or 6 on one for hanging and 4 of other for side walls :D

Hillcrest the way u described this sounds simple but im still baffed, i looked at the fitting and it has 2 metal things saying live with the wire connect to 3 saying loop in and 3 saynig neutral for example

Live - Loop in - Neutral

Do you know a picture diagram or a video showing me how to do this wiring i really cnt afford to start a fire due to my lack of knowledge :D

thx
