Link is for example, you can get them at Lowes or Home Depot. I tested everything for about 48 hours to make sure it wasnt going to burn the house down. I didnt use an electrical box. Just connectors on the cord and attached to the posts...
I cut extension cords, put connectors on the wires and attached them to the ceramic light fixtures. After that I just screwed them into the top of the enclosure.
No electrical box I just plug everything into my Zilla Power Center (power bar with a timer)
The bulb in the picture is a 90 watt and the unregulated temp was over 140 degrees at the basking spot. Ill snag a dimmer. I prefer to use a flood since basking bulbs seem to burn out if you breathe on them too hard
SO the wife gave the ok to re-purpose an old dresser. I still need to finish up the grout work but I wanted some input while I can still make changes. Size is 48x18x28. Need to order glass but the tracks are down and all light fixtures installed.
CHE and Basking lamp will be on the right end...
