Make sure that you have a "dedicated" circuit that you can plug in to. That means that nothing else is running off that circuit or your breaker will trip. It would also help if you have the means to have a 240 outlet wired to plug into but its not a must as long as you have just the light plugged into the outlet. The 240 lets your ballast run your light more efficiently and on higher setting. It will also use less electricity
