EndCap Mounting In Canopy...

[Jamie2337]

Does anyone have any pictures of how your endcaps are mounted in your hood. I am having trouble getting it mounted up and working correctly. I would love to see how everyone has their lights mounted! Thanks! :fun4:

these pictures are from my DIY hood thread on RC.

Those are great pictures! Pretty awesome lighting! Do you have any close-ups of where the endcaps are wired. I am trying to get it wired up. Please look at my pics and see if I am doing anything wrong! Thanks!

are the lights not coming on? do you think you have them wired wrong ? what kind of ballast is it ?

 

[Jamie2337]

URI Ballast...same as IceCap 660. It is wired correctly. I was working great before I mounted it in the canopy! Thanks!

it looks like you may have kinked one of the wires from that picture. can you test the wires with a test meter?

I think your asking for trouble by running your wire under the mount that way. Possible fire maker. Drill a whole straight thru that board and bring the wires thru that way.

they do have mounts for those end caps.

OK...Got it running. I had the mounts on upside down! Not one of my brighter moments! :fun4:

wow how did i miss that in the picture, glad everything is working fine now, but you should double check the wire covering to make sure it's fine.

I completely redid it all!
