There was a guide floating around teaching you how to wire up your own lights can't find it atm. I had a growing buddy help me make a custom light setup with 400watt HPS and MH, if you can't find any help and he comes over tomorrow I will have him reply, he knows how to do that shit like it was playing catch.

I just wired the same ballast this weekend. Attached is the diagram I used.

Mine is a hps and had an ignitior and a capacitor, and i see that you dont have either. might be a problem, but as im sure you know by know electrical stuff like this is funny. good luck...

The wiring diagram is on the ballast.... Can you take a clear pic of the top of the ballast?

Looks close , except for no capacitor and no ground - the wires coming from the ballast are 120v, X3 and Lamp. That black wire (LAMP) going to the socket goes to the base of the socket right? Not the threads?
