 Best way to setup CFL's

How do you guys set up your CFl's? I am going to get about 4 or 5 of the 100watt comparison bulbs. I have read about putting holes in the plastic part and stringing wires together. This is all fine, but what about for the first bulb? What all would I need?

Would that setup be safe? What kind of light shield should i put around it to maximize the light output for the plants? I think the cfl's are either 1600 or 2700 lumens each. I don't remember. I was gonna do 4 or 5 of them.

Alright, So here is what I think i'm gonna do. I want to make a hanging light setup. I'll a couple pieces of wood, make a square, and put a surge protector on each of the two sides. Maybe I can line the top of the box with sheet metal or something that will maximize the light. This way I can raise and lower the CFL's.
This sound like a good idea? The inside of my box is going to be painted white.
