Need help with wiring on workhorse

[DJ88]

Anytime Lee.

I'll take this time as well to say it myself. Attempt the various setups of these lamps at your own risk. Tho I will say Fulham does show some of these configurations on their web site.

I'll get up the Wkhse 7 numbers soon. Gotta attack this list of things I have been putting off. I keep getting distracted. :D

Two 4' daylight NO's in parallel gave a PAR of 263.

Single NO tube gave 256.

Both on a workhorse6.

Bit of info for those who may be following this. Tho I doubt no one 'cept a few are.. lol ;)

I just put the two 75W VHO's over my tank about 2" off the water.. Running the lamps in series I had glimmer lines. Not as bright as my 400W makes(of course) but they were about the equal of a 175W MH. yeah.. and I am not sh!tting you.

cool, did you get the WH7 tested out yet [img]smile.gif[/img]

I wonder if you could do the same thing by running pc's in series..

I haven't had the chance to test the 7 yet.. I will tho..

I can't see any reason you can't run some PC's in series as well. You'd probably get more zip out of those than the VHO's. Smaller diameter will mean more efficient running.

Shimmer :cool: :cool:

But what are the side affects, still need the Tylenol. Lights are too much fun.....

My disclaimer.

If you want to use fulham workhorses and wire them up look for wiring diagrams at fulham.com. If you don't know how to, or don't understand electrical wiring as described on that site DON'T DO ANY OF THIS.

Electricity is very dangerous and these ballasts are putting out enough current to kill.

I have provided these numbers to give people more of a base from which to make decisions about how to light their tanks. If you aren't comfortable doing this wiring yourself, I won't do it for you. Sorry but I won't be held responsible for the electrical for your tank if it isn't done correctly and something happens.

Darren, do you have a diagram of a panasonic type square pin PC arangment?

Darren, if you won't do this for me, who will??? I don't mind doing it, but if I die,well, that would suck.
I know, I'll get Steve to do it...he's hardly blown up anything!! :D
