    I had an electrical fire about a month ago which caused damage to a ton of my equipment. I have rewired almost all of my equipment except for my light fixture.

    Unfortunately, I made the mistake of not taking a picture of the wiring before I started taking it apart. I am hoping someone on here will help me rewire one of the ballasts.

    The fixture is this one:- 48" Black Solar T5 HO - 8 x 54 watt + ML

    Except it has 4 lamps on each switch.

    Here are two pictures of what I have to wire.

    The fixtures' wires: [​IMG]

    4 wires: green and white (both look like they were twisted. Blue and White (both are straight)

    The new cord: [​IMG]


    Does anyone know how to wire this up?

    The ballast should have a diagram on it. If not CA will be happy to help you out from what I have read.
