Wiring of Linear Fluorescent, 2 ballast light fixtures
Hi, I'm completely new to the site and I would really appreciate any help that I can get with this.
I am replacing my 400W HID lights with new, energy saving, 6 lamp, T8 fluorescent lights and I was hoping to save money by reusing the locking plugs and cords from my HIDs. The issue I have is that there are 2 ballasts, each with a white and black wire (as well as 1 ground for the fixture), to connect to one white, one black, one ground. So I'm not experienced with wiring but how can I connect 2 blacks and 2 whites to 1 black and 1 white?
Any advice would really be appreciated. I'll see if I can't get a picture up sometime soon.
Thanks
