I see these DIY cooltube set ups, and I'd like to make one, but where can I get just the bare socket and wiring, or just a socket to hook to a ballast? Is that even possible? I'm looking at 150 or 250. Thanks

Home Depot has 'em, Lowes has 'em, Grainger, or any electric supply house should carry them as well.

Would that be 150 or 250 watts, or sockets you're looking at?

you were talking about a socket right for the bulb right. Thats what i thought you were asking were to get them? I had to get mine from a hydro store and i can put a 250watt bulb up to a 1000watt bulb in it. had no luck finding it at home depot or anything
