View Full Version : Wiring for old PFO Compact Flourescent Ballast

I have an early model 2x55 watt PFO CF retro kit that came with four pin tombstone sockets that literally hang from the bulbs.

I tried a few things to make the connection stable, nothing worked where it would be safe over water, and I put the kit in the closet.

Earlier this week (that's about 3 years later from the original purchase), I saw that there is now a moisture resistant end cap and bought it. I am clueless as to how it should be wired, though.

Where the old wires on the bulb and ballast are just yellow and red (2 of each color for each bulb), the new end cap has one of each of the following:

black
brown
half yellow / half green
green

Can I use the new end cap? If so, how do I need to wire it?

I will be fowarding the same question to PFO, but I thought I would start here. My luck with vendors has never been very good.
