Wiring Up A 250w Hid

Recommended Posts

i have all the bits for a 250w HID, ballast, capacitor, starter, and bulb.

unfortunately, i aint got the foggiest how to wire it.

i have tried copying the wiring layout in a strip light i have (it is the same system, ballast, capacitor,+starter) but nowt seems to happen.

any idea where i can get an idiot proof guide from to do it, a simplified circuit diagram would probably do

thought maybe this

hi budsniffer

it should be the same as any light of that type. open it up so you can see the guts somewhere inside should be a choclate block it'll be close to the little hole in the back of it. just conect a bit of flex to it with a plug on one end i think it should have a 3a fuse in the plug not 100% sure on that if it blows try a 5a fuse.

CHECK YOUR CONNECTIONS!!!!

before pluging it in to make sure you haven't wired it backwards could kill the transfomer or cause a fire!!!! don't take electricity lightly it KILLS.

good luck with your grow bro

double check all connections

from here might help ya ;)
