Hey everyone. I'm in the process of germinating two seeds and I would like to make sure everything is ready to go for my first trial and error.
I'm a bit low on money at the moment but I have collected 3 small computer fans and wired them up to a 12v adapter. I have gutted an old PC case and I would like to attempt my first grow in that until I can get some more space to work with. Anyway, I plan on going to Walmart to get some CFL bulbs that would give me decent lumens.
Since I'm low on money, I went looking for some fixtures and have found an old glass shade that has a triple socket. I removed it from the glass and checked out the imprints on the fixture. It says 250v and also 660w.
When it comes to wiring, I'm not a n00b, but I'm not an expert either. I was able to wire the fans with no problem using wire nuts and electrical tape but lighting is something I haven't really done.
I guess my biggest concern is whether or not I can use the triple socket and successfully wire it up to something. I do have a 250 power supply that came out of an old computer and random adapters from old electronics and cell phone chargers.
The triple socket has two wires coming out, white and black. What are my options here?
Thanks guys.
