help wiring replacement PC ballast
I need to replace the PC ballast on my nanocube. I purchased a 24w retro kit from nanotuners. The problem is that they didn't provide any type of wiring instructions. The retrofit Kit came with the following
1 x Fulham Workhorse 3 C - (cube factor) (1 x 24w) 1 x BJB GX11 German Endcap 1 x BJB Bulb Clip 1 x Nanocustoms 10K Combo (50/50) / Nanocustoms 10k Daylight Bulb Here is a crappy cell phone pic. I assume that black and white wires are for power. Not sure about the other's or how they connect with the endcap. Any help would be appreciated.

I am going by memory here and I can't find any wiring instructions online....
I believe you have the following: 1 black wire 1 white wire 2 red wires 2 yellow wires Black & White = power coming in Red wires go to outside 2 plugs on end cap yellow wires go to inside plugs on end cap To get them in the end cap I think you need to strip the wires back about a 1/2 inch and they just push in to the small holes. I'm sure someone else will chime in here with some better instructions....so hey..ya got a free bump SBC

I believe on the Fulham site they have wiring schematics. Just enter the info on the right side of the page.

That is basicly the information I needed. The problem is that there is only one yellow wire. I took apart the endcap and it is made for a ballast with four wires, as opposed to three. I can get it going, just not a good way to sell it.

I believe you have to split the yellow wire as needed. It's been a while since I've had to use a Fulham ballast.

Once I new wear the yellow and the red had to go I was ok. That was the part screwing with me, I just couldn't remember. Thanks
