giesemann rewire help

[paul17]

hello
I am looking for someone who is confident in helping me rewire my t5s on my 48 inch 2- 250 watt 4 t5 fixture giesemann fixture
now I only have one plug that turns on all four t5s.
I would like to add another plug and have let say 1 and 3 come on than 2 and 4 come on.
I have looked up a few threads on this but I don't feel confident on going solo on this.
thank you

Open your fixture, if there are two T5 ballasts, all you have to do is separate power, maybe add a switch if you want to.
Adding a second ballast is very simple; normally they have the wiring diagram printed on them.

 

[paul17]

yes there are two ballest
its seems a little strange how six wires wires fit into the one power cord but I guess they do
thx for your input

Just run an extra power cord to the fixture, drill a hole and use a strain relief plug the correct size.

Had to deal with a tank issue today, will try to call you tomorrow during the day.
Post a picture of the fixture, does it have the power cord from top or side?

 

[paul17]

yes right now all three cords are on one side of the fixture it looks like there is room for one more and on top.
there oi a small open channel on top running the length of the fixture probly to let out heat the cords are coming thru the opening thank you
