i had the same problem when i replaced a ballast ... you need to get some
ballast conectors from a hydroponics shop a male and female for 1 conection
so you need 2 females and 2 males ,they dont cost much ... get a soldering
iron and link them up its not hard lol just make sure when you open up the
case that all the energy has gone ...coz with ballasts ,there are big capicitors
inside that hold electricity ... so make sure it hasnt been pluged in for a while
!!!!!
dont have live wires out in the open coz yes a major fire hazzard .... a hps/
mh bulb needs 1300volts just to ignite, so the reflecter side is very killing
dangerous !!!!! dont try it easpecially when you grow there is moisture
in the air .... water and electricity doesnt mix well !
peace
