Help please - stupid wiring question.

[Neurotech]

My coralvue ballast has black, white and green wires. My reflector/bulb only has black and white. I assume that the green is a ground - what do I do with the green one?

contact coralvue (http://www.coralvue.com/) The green is the ground. I think that you attach the green to the reflector via a screw to ground it . but I'm not positive... Any electricians out there?

Thanks Chuck, connecting the green to any old screw on the reflector seems like it makes sense to me too, but like you said....any electricians out there? Or anyone who has ever set up a retro?

im not an electrician, but thats how i did mine.

Yes Chuck is correct. White is neutral , Black is hot and Green is ground

Typically the ground wire is provided so that you can ground the reflector/fixture
