wiring WH7 and T5s


Can someone forward me the wiring diagram for a workhorse7 ballast used to power 2 5ft T5 bulbs using water proof endcaps.

The water proof end caps are different than the normal T5 endcaps. There are only 2 holes on the water proof endcaps and there are 4 holes on the normal T5 encaps.

Thanks.

Chad

FYI- the workhorse 7 ballast has two red wires, a single yellow wire and a blie ground wire.

I've never had a workhorse ballast, but I would consider each t5 bulb 1 vho and wire them the same, number of pins really don't matter they still connect one end to the other.

Here's a website I found on wiring them. just do the two bulb layout should work. I think you need wiring diagram 4

run 2 reds together, then using a pig tail wire to one side (one pin) then from the first pin ,run to the other pin. So now you have 2 red wires tied together to one "end of a bulb". Do the same for the other bulb.

Now the yellow wire ties to all the pins on the opposite end. ALL pins are tied together.

I'm @ work so can't send a drawing but here goes

red> - ---- bulb ---- yellow
red> -same bulb--- yellow


red> - ---- bulb ----- yellow
red> --same bulb-- yellow
this is for the WH7
