light sockets

hornfroggy Nov 09, 2003 01:16 AM

where do you get the light sockets for the custom cages?? do you take them off the clamp lamps? or do you get them from home depot? and can you get the glass sliding doors from home depot, or do you need to go to a specialty shop for that? One last very, very important thing, where can I get some real nice cage plans?? If you have some you could send me I would realy appreciate it. E-mail hornedfrog2000@yahoo.com

Home Depot has sockets. If using a heat bulb or high-wattage bulb, use a ceramic socket/base. Otherwise you can use the much lighter plastic base. Also, I recommend using a metal junction box to mount the socket base to if using a high-heat bulb. HD sells some really nice low-profile round boxes for $9.00 (yikes) or you can go for the cheaper type for alot less. Big Apple is selling some nice bulb guards.
