Need help with wiring on workhorse

[DJ88]

Adam,

As long as you aren't going over the rated wattage of the ballast you can do it.. I am right now. Two PC's and an NO off of one workhorse 5. I can. still run one more lamp if I chose to.

Run one red wire to each lamp as "positive" or feed, then connect all the opposite ends of the VHO's and "negative" or return pins on the PC's.

get it?

This is assuming you have flat pin PC's two are "positive" and two are "negative". It is as easy as that. Much easier than any Icecap by far. IME IMO

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.
