This goes to an induction grow light. The light itself has no branding or markings what so ever.

If anyone out there knows any info about this plug let me know! Thanks!

All I can say is that was meant to plug into something very specific to that light. I got nothing else lol never used that style of lighting.

Not seen 5 pin light cables around if at all, that should narrow it down.

Yeah I would assume one pin is a ground for the reflector and the other two pairs are for each lamp in the fixture. What sorta ballast is required beats me though, I don't even see markings on the lamps themselves that would indicate a wattage. (He had a picture in another thread)

I peeled the outside coating on the cord back a bit. They are 5 individual wires. So you are thinking right I bet Renfro.

Five pins makes me think more some three phase or somthing similar maybe, something commercial or industrial.

3 phase would have 3 hot wires and a ground. Would run 330v+. With 4 conductor wires and a ground, you would have a hot and neutral wire for a pair of 110v circuits.
More than likely. Always use a meter.

Me too. Voltage would be same as usual (110/220v), just phased lines.
