Installing Instructions for

Connecting 250W IceCap Electronic Metal Halide Ballasts to 250W Sunlight Supply Reef Optix 3 Plus HQ Reflectors w/14000k Ushio Bulbs

here is what i got in the mail




:-/







Step 1: Get some scissors and some wire connectors from store

Step 2: Cut the output end on the ballast plug like so and seperate the wires and strip them to expose the copper wires inside










Step 3:Connect the matching color wires from the ballast output to the ones on the reflector adaptor.(they are "ususally" the same color)





Step 4:Twist them together and slip on the plastic wire connectors and twist some more untill they are tight.

Step 5:Use some electrical tape and secure the wire connectors/wire nuts (not shown here)











Step 6:Connect and Test the lights

Step 7 is the most important step so don't skip it.

Step 7:Look at the lights and say "oh, hell yea" (curse words may be used briefly)

 

Good instructions but you should use electrical tape to cover those wire nuts/wire
