...That would be great Mike.The ballast I have has a print but it is worthless to me.It just has four wires going to each side.No voltages on the wires.If I plug it in,with it being an electronic ballast,it would just shut down before I could get a voltage reading from each of the wires.

Quick question. There is a black, white and green wire on the power side. My lights only have a black and a white on the power cord. Where do I hook up the green wire?
