Has anyone found a good site to buy bulk extention cords.  And what is everyone using for the short channel extention cords.

For short controller cords, I take a 3-pack of 15' indoor cords and cut them up into about 6 cords each ... and then put on female vampire plug ends ... then wire up my LE(s) for very cheap.

If you buy a spool of spt2 cord and a bunch of vampire plugs, you can then make as many short extension cords as you want ... they is getting the vampire plugs for a cheap as possible and a decent deal on the spt2.

I have 2000 ft of SPT2 on its way.  One I got a good deal on, but need to make sure it will work...we call it something else, but the specs are the same....apparently the company I work for sells the stuff.

I'll let everyone know when I get and cost too.  I think we pay about $90 for a 1000 foot roll.

The other 1000 feet I have coming in I paid about $165.
