You can buy a “cheap” power strip or extension cord and cut the end off you don’t need. Then wire it up.

I can’t find 22 g solid core wire but I found thermostat wire. Will that work?

That’s what I’m using

Thank you

How close to my seedlings with domes on can I put the light? Should I start at half power?

Any 16/3 cord or bigger should do. If you’re using thermostat wire make sure it’s the 150v variety. Personally I would do 18awg 300v solid.

Just make sure its heavyish. That’s what I did with mine btw.

I had to order a spool when I wired mine nowhere here had it in small coils.

Drinkslinger · August 5, 2019, 5:39pm

I get mine from big lots. They’re usually like $2-$4 depending on how long you want them.

DankGunslinger · August 5, 2019, 5:47pm

I bought some cheap small powerbar at lowes and shopped the cord off.

Ok I have it turned all the way down and 26 in from the plants
