Homie they're already ready already!!! go to Lowes, you'll spend about 5 and change for a socket/chord (plugs into reg. socket) it also comes with a reflector!

the reason i asked is if they get hot it`s plastic so not to good. you should be ok with those. just run your positive and negative to the correct pins on the socket then run another wire from one to the other. so the power goes into one socket and then from that one to the other one. or you could just get a bathroom light set with 3 or 4 sockets already wired, just run the plug

yes just go get a cheap $1 extension cord and cut off the female end and strip a lil bit of the insulation off the end and then just wire it up..very easy..i just did it and made the lights that were featured in the book "Buds for Less:Grow 8 ounces for less than 100 bucks" great book you should check it out.. hope that helps
