I received my ballasts the other day, I'm curious though, the wires that go to the lamp are both "sky blue." How is one able to tell which is positive and/or negative. The pics on the Ice cap web site show white/black wires exiting the ballast to go to the lamp; the wiring diagram also shows white/black.

Can someone help a reefer out and let me know how I am susposed to know which wire is to connect to which part of the lamp....or does it matter?

Thanks in advance!!

It does not matter. There is no polarity issues with wiring a MH ballast to a lamp. Connect either way and you will be fine.
