Hmm, I'm a bit confused, but that's because this is all sort of new to me. I was thinking more of having everything in line, so for each light it would be more like this:



Piece of extension cord from the surge protector to a junction box (probably seperate smaller ones for each dimmer switch...the ones that are used for single wall switches and stuff?). This is where the dimmer switch would be, concealed on the left side of the cages. I'm not sure how wiring would go to this, but it seems like it would be similar to just wiring the simple light fixture? Would the ground attach to this junction box, and then use ungrounded wire to go to the light fixture? Anyways, then just connect that to the fixture with whatever wire would be best? I don't know what I'm talking about really, but this is sort of the kind of thing I was thinking and i was wondering about the specifics of this project.



I do believe I will leave the flourescent lights alone pretty much, and just run their cords out of some of those little round things that you can put the plug through and then close off...? Don't know what they're called. I just figured that since I'll be using simple undercabinet flourescent lights (2 per cage, one over the basking spot with a repti sun bulb, and another with a regular bulb for extra light on the cool side), it need not be too elaborate. Then again if I could track down some 3' dual flourescent shoplights, I might opt for those instead.



Thanks for all of the help thus far.
