And that is Y it is here some rep would be nice

If you use Fulham ballasts (I highly recommend them!), be sure to only wire 3 55w lamps to a 220w ballast using wiring diagram #11 You can find it on their site.... unless you want to void the warranty.

I've also updated the wiring information on the link.

Stay Safe! :tree:

PLEASE REMEMBER TO TURN OFF YOUR PL-L's when your head is within 3-4 feet of them. They WILL do permanent damage to your eyes.... that you won't notice until it is too late.

Never expect anything in return for what you do.... you'll get paid back MUCH more handsomely that way. :blowbubbles:

Ok, I guess I managed to extract some knowledge from the first thread you linked to but since it doesn't regard the ballast I have I made a new thread for the philips ballast: https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?p=3311651, in which I made a second post with my own bet on how to do it.

Hopefully someone gives me the :good:

so I can get my cab ready for the weekend

My Philips Eletronic ballast wiring 2x2x55w 240v 50-60Hz

My Philips Eletronic ballast wiring 2x2x55w 240v 50-60Hz

I will be getting 1 more power cord 2morrow so i can run them separately. The green wire is not needed but they do have 4 pin 4 some reason better safe than sorry.

Craven_au · Mar 20, 2010

Squire can u fill me in i have found that my philips ballast work with out connecting the globs (green wire) is this safe? What way do u think is best?

1st

2nd

3rd

4th

ScrubNinja · Mar 20, 2010

Craven, none of those are correct. This is the closest:

Look at the wiring diagram... You have nothing in terminal #4 on your ballast when there should be. The green wire needs to connect to terminal 4 in addition to where it connects now. Peace.

Craven_au · Mar 20, 2010

Thanks man makes sens i have more work to do

My finished cab I install the pll using diy hooks and coat hanger wire have a look.http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?p=3320279#post3320279

Can anyone explain why wires need to be short between ballast and lamp? And how long should they be at a maximum?

I also read somewhere that the wires should be single strand to connect properly into the holes, how important is this?
