To wire the workhorses you can do it in two manners..

Run all four wires to the end of one lamp then run a bridging wire from teh opposite end to the other lamp. Then connect the yellow to the opposite pins on the second lamp.

The otehr way is to take the yellow, split it into two wires you connect to one end of each lamp. Then run two wires to the unused ends of the lamps.

If I remember right it will work one way and not the other for two 110W VHO's.. Can't remember off the top of my head. and Fulham doesn't warranty ballasts run in this manner. Do a search for this and I am sure you will get the info you are looking for as well possibly several diagrams to help out.

Wow registerd in oct 2000 and first post.. :) Glad I was able to say welcome to ya.. :)

Newreef, this is how I wired up my WH7 with 2 4ft 110W Vho bulbs.

You put one pair of red wires to one endcap, the other pair to another endcap. The yellow wires are serially connected to the opposite endcaps. red on oneside. yellow on the other. Bear in mind according to Fulham, you will fire/light the tubes, but you will not be getting 110w/tube. It'll be less.
