and I will leave it at that, as its getting into sponsership territory.

ok so I purchased the 250 gallaxy ballast but now I have a new problem, the ballast outlet dosn't match my reflector outlet. For those of you out there with this ballast how did you deal with the incorrect connection. Are there adapters out there, if so where and how much? or did you just cut the end off and connect the raw wires together.

thoughts?

This is a common problem, Depending on your setup its best to wire directly to the back of the mogul socket (black wire to the brass nut) using the lamp cord that came with your ballast.
Where did you buy your galaxy from?

not sure I'm following you Joel.

You're proposing I should hack off both the plugs (female on the ballast and male on the reflector) and just join the wires or am I missing something?

OR

Open the ballast and cut the individual cords inside and then cut the reflector cord and hardwire it within the ballast???
