Step 7
The light bulb sockets set in the cut out holes, i made sure when i cut the holes they were just too small and then lightly hand sanded them till the sockets just fit in properly with a few millimeters of the white socket exposed, then used a light bit of clear glue around the entire socket and the inside of the hole to attach it as well as a thicker ring of glue around the sockets on the inside of the box.
The light sockets themselves were purchased from Lowes and are fairly cheap as well ($2 or so) and are designed for ceiling lamp repair and replacement.

Going a with a heaver gauge(thicker) wire is wise. Our good fried Mr. Ohm tells us that when we lower the voltage the current goes up.

Ohms law says when the voltage goes down and the resistance stays the same, current goes down.

I had a wee bit of trouble here, as the holes were suuuper snug, and had I not used really stiff wire between the sockets, this would have been a breeze. However, due to the stiffness of the wiring, they kept popping up, making me feel like I was playing Whack-A-Mole... A little electrical tape wrapped around two of the sockets worked wonders, and I haven't needed to use glue.
