VHO and Work Horse ballast.
 
Hi - anybody could help with proper wiring diagram to power one 110W VHO with Workhorse 7 ballast for optimal run?

Thanks.

3 red wires to one end of the bulb, the yellow to the other end.

kinda like this pic but only use 3 wires (cap off the 4th) and pretend it is one bulb that is curved for some reason, so ignore the blue wires :rolleyes:

one wire is NO current level, two for HO, and 3 for VHO. 4 will overdrive the VHO some.
