How Do I Wire ARO Ballast
I found these in my garage and decided to put them to use.

I hope those are low voltage wires over your reef?
Cheers! Mark

"how do i wire" the wiring diagram is printed right on the ballast... and you seemingly have it wired, i'm confused?

That’s a very scary picture right there with those retro reflectors. Tell you what; a while back I offered some reflectors for free to the local people; I kept two just in case but if you are willing to pay for shipping, I don’t mind mailing them to you so your life or someone else’s is not at risk. The pendants are I believe PFO double ended and have a long wire that you can wire to the ballast, come with glass shield and have the proper socket for 250w DE bulbs...
