If your not familar with wiring and electricity, then find someone who is. Or go to homedepot or the like, and find a book on the basics. Then wander around the lite fixture section.
Consider, if you follow someones instructions on this forum and burn your house down. It would not be a good thing. So do some actual research, then either learn how to do it, or have someone do it.
I like a cage that I can move the heating lamps where they are needed, TO predict where they should be, only leads to failure. So I put in simple wall outlets high in the cage, and you can plug in anything you like or is needed at the time, and these things do change. The key to cage building is, do not wall yourself in. A good box, with the ability to move things in and out. To be able to change as needed. And be resistant to moisture, to hold deep substrate. That is what is important.
For big cages, to mount the lites high is a disaster. I try to use a hanging log with outdoor fixtures fixed to the bottom. I use a chain and hooks so I can move the lite bar up or down as needed. Good luck
