my ballast is connected to a surge protector which is connected to an extension chord so your probably good.

Whatever you use, the wire must be powerful enough to handle the charge.

surge pretectors comes very in handy , last thing you want is for damn thing knockin out the power

Surge protectors are not necessary, if you lose power and it comes back on quick the ballast wont usually.
