Thanks Dusty! I see the pink isolation foam! That`s a good idea!

I`m not confused anymore :-)

Thanks

Claude

| My 4 foot shelving is similar to your photo marked 04-03-13 I do see why
| you asked about lamp heat now and yes your arrangement may be a problem as
| the plants on the shelf above the fixture will get too warm. I have a fix
| but it isn't pretty. I use 2 inch pink isolation foam from Home Depot aka
| the BORG on each self.
|
| I put a picture of my set up in alt.binaries.pictures.orchids with the
| header of More Confusion! for the Phal Guy
|
| I forgot to mention that lowes and Home depot carry the fixtures.
|
| these fixtures will attach to shelveing but you may have to drill a screw
| hole.
|
| Cords that's easy my local computer junk store has baskets of computer
| power cords for $1 each I cut off the end that goes to the computer and
| strip the outer covering back three inches wiring is with wire nuts black
| to black white to white and green goes to the lamp housing under the green
| screw. If you get a Eruo cord then its brown to black blue to white and
| green with the yellow stripe under the green screw. There are knock outs
at
| the end of the fixture and you will need a wire clamp/strain relief ask
| where you buy the fixture. Make sure there is no exposed wire pop the
cover
| back on and your good to go.
|
| I sure hope I'm not confusing you more.
