    solaballast 150w hps help plz!

    first read this faq from og it may help.
    Grow Marijuana FAQ, Cannabis cultivation - marijuana growing tips & photos
    will need to know more about your ballast and igniter, would suspect your wires are numbered or labeled in some way to tell you how to hook them up and that you have an extension cord or wiring you are going to use for the power cord and to extend the socket wiring. will need to know how each wire are labeled to be of much help.

    solaballast 150w hps help plz!

    k the wire i got are:
    120v
    208v
    240v
    277v
    A1
    A2 lamp
    A3 com
    theres a wire labeled 'cap' and another 'com' wire coming from the capacitor. so what i did was i spliced the A2 lamp wire with the 120v wire. then i spliced the com wire from the ignitor to the com wire form the capacitor along with the wire labeled 'cap'. and im thinking the white wire form my socket goes to the A2 and the 120v wire, then connect the white wire from my power cord with those? then idk where the black wire form my socket goes or the black and green wire form the power cord. someone help plz!

    the 120v goes to the black wire of your power cord
    a2 lamp goes to the black wire or center post of the socket and a2 of the igniter
    com goes to the white wire of the socket along with white wire from the power cord and a3 of the igniter
    a1 to a1 of the igniter
    that just leaves the capicitor wich you should have 2 wires or terminal labeled cap where you can attach the capicitor either to by soldering to a terminal or by connecting wire.
    the green wire from the power cord is just a ground you can attch it to the ballast box if your using a ballast box.
