New Light - Ballast Adapter issues

[Weedler]

Switched out the old wing reflector for an aircooled one. Only problem the ballast I purchased with the winged relfector will not match anything I have ever seen online, in stores etc.

Has anyone re-wired a brand new hood setup due to this issue? Thoughts of using the wiring from the old reflector on the new hood. Should I just purchase 2 new ballasts?

Here is a photo of what I am working with. I need to make this plug from the light


Fit into the ballast




Any help? Advice.

you gotta cut off both plugs and hardwire it together. or buy new fittings and wire them on

better yet cut the old reflectors male off and replace it on the new reflector

Good call. Simple cut & re-wire and it should work using the old plug instead of the new one. Thanks!

Good call. Simple cut & re-wire and it should work... I will take the male cord & cut it back a few feet off the old cord so I can wire it into the new light.

I would suggest getting some wiring nuts for a little extra safety they are like 2 bucks at a hardware store.then make absolutely sure that the wires cant ever touch and tape it up... as far as I know you'll have a a white a black and a green wire so it's pretty simple.
