Lighting Installation Under Workbench Canopy
Unlike Pyeddo, I'm not hard wiring. I'm preparing to attach 4 fluorescent lights to the workbench canopy. Could someone please tell me if what I'm about to explain is safe?
4 lights = 4 cords. I will have to plug all 4 of these into a double receptacle box, then turn around and plug this cord into one of those plugs you screw into a light socket. HACKACK! I wish this was something humorous, but it's not. It's the best idea I could come up with.
If anyone has any other ideas, or thinks this is even OK, give me a hollar.

I apologize GWIZ. I have the problem solved. It's funny I discovered the solution ONLY after I posted. What I found is a receptacle straight from the circuit box on a circuit all to its own. I coulda swore it just popped up outa nowhere!
The load is going to be light anyways. All that will be on it at most is 4 fluorescents and a 20" color TV. That's not a tremendous demand. Well plus a dremmel tool and/or soldering iron at times.

ElectricalMan, you're only half right. You forgot stereo, refrigerator, table saw, and arc welder.
