1st Pulse Start Metal Halide Ballast...

The Schematic with the kit looks like this:

The Ignitor for the kit actually has TWO white wires, so I've wired it like this; the second White going to Neutral on the Cords Plug:

The Modified Schematic for further clarity:

Am I doing this right?

Finally got a hold of a warm body at the Manufacturer...

They say cap off the second white wire on the ignitor... "it doesn't need to go anywhere", without pointing out the inherent danger.:chainsaw::chainsaw::S4::wtf3::

A comment from another forum pointed out that

"NO!! The starter is on the secondary side of the ballast. You NEVER hook secondary to primary. That's a great way to inject 2500 volts into your house wiring."

So I'm hooked up for 240V... going to remove and cap the extra white wire from the ignitor.

A little tenuous at this point though...

Any way to check out the set up before taking it live, Multi-Meter maybe?

Other thoughts before mounting, hanging, and energizing?

Right On!

It sure as hell does!

That's why I've had this ballast kit for a week now and am still evaluating...

Any experience here?
