its the same cords that computers use, cut off the plug that plugs to the wall you should have a black , white and green the green just ground on your reflector the white and black go to the bulb will plug right into your ballast

well it seems as though manufacture of custom sea life has gone out of bus.
i would hate to think that they can get $50 out of two socket cords ??
maybe i will just re-wire.......if i cant get what it came with

 

[treejohnny]

it is the opposite of computer cords......the cord itself looks like the plug on ballast.....i will stop at radio shack and see if they have the plug like the back of computer.....

 

[shag26272]

even if you got it from them you would probably have to wire it, its just 3 wires, I posted the link to the cords so you can pick the size you need

I believe shag and I have given you many options, have I missed something? Or you just don't want to spend 6 bucks at home depot?

i will have to replace the plug in ballast to use standard power cord....will have to find new plug before i order cord....

 

[shag26272]

you dont need to replace the plug in the ballast I gave you the link to the one that fits it

You don't understand. Each heavy duty power cord comes with each end. cut the cord in half--wire the female end to ballast. wire the male end to lights. plug them in you have light. You can find a heavy duty cord at any hardware store

We are both trying to help. please read one or the other

heres a picture of the cord you just cut the plug that looks like it goes into the wall off wire this end to your socket/reflector and the other side plugs into your ballast

ok........took another pic of ballast with power cord for computer.......maybe i am missing something but they both look like female connectors to me ??
i need to find male plug for ballast like back of computer has.......unless i am mistaken.......but the computer cord does not fit into ballast the way it is now.

OK, this looks like a simple two ballast setup to me. I'm overwhelmed by what I may have missed.

 

[shag26272]
