Is my GE Lamp a Panasonic or Osram????
 
I just bought a Workhorse 5 ballast and a GE 9325K bulb. The trouble is that I can't figure out which diagram to use to connect the ballast. From the Fulham website, I have the option of:

1x55W OSRAM or 1x55W Panasonic

I think both OSRAM and Panasonic bulbs are straight pin. But both diagrams are different. Which diagram do I pick??? :question: :question: :question:

Ah, never mind. Just did a search on Yahoo and found out that Panasonic is the Square Pin version. So I need to use the OSRAM diagram. So obvious. Not.

New Question. I'm only wiring up 1 55W bulb instead of 2. So I need to cap off 2 unused red wires. Do I cap them both together or individually?

Ah well. I can't wait for an answer. I capped them together and plugged in the ballast. Works GREAT. :smile:

Great thread, Sam! :biggrin:

Yeah, Steve PM'ed me later and said that I should have capped the wires separately. :smile:
