This project can be as easy or as complicated as you desire. Depending on your choices, it can be made even cheaper and also scaled up to any size so long as you are not exceeding 1500 watts. If you do decide to scale it up, I recommend that you space out the lights a little more than what is shown in this video for better thermal management. I DO NOT take any responsibility if you burn your dwelling down or get electrocuted and die. This video is for entertainment purposes only.

If you do not posses the skills to solder or wire up circuits and can't do so safely, spend some extra money and purchase lamp sockets instead. The key here is to just remove the diffuser dome from the lights.
