linking multiple lights

[azz123]

ok so i have wired my own lighting into my enclosure, can multiple lights be wired together ok?
i.e. 3 lamp holders wired 1 to the other and the last one to a plug. is that ok? anyone else done there own wiring? i understand this would be a series circuit, but is it safe

also why can a normal bulb over a reptile specialist bulb be harmful to a reptile? what is the difference?

thanks

normal bulbs do not have UVB, they also aren't made for heating they are made to give off light (although they do get hot). I guess if you can wire properly and know what your doing i would go for wiring yourself. I have 2 lights with two different plugs to an outlet. I would be more afraid of fire and my lack of electrical knowledge. It sounds like its a lot of power going to one outlet but I am completely ignorant electric as i said.
