I found about 10 old street lamps that are 400w HPS lamps. As a matter of fact they are exactly what i bought from the inside sun company for $100. I gutted all of them . I got the ballast, housing and bulbs. I have looked for instructions on how to wire it but they just don't make since to me. I have three sets of wires three positive three negitave and three ground wires. I know one goes from the ballast to the bulb and one goes from the ballaast to the plug but whta the hell is this other set for? Do i need them. I am trying to get them all set to sell for really cheap on e-bay but this third set of wires is throwing me off. any advice would be great!!!
thanks

not real sure about that but please do not sell those lights unless you have them set up properly and have tested them out. it would be very bad to sell someone a light with shoddy wiring that ends up burning their house down.

if i were you and was going to sell them i would take them to a electric/lighting shop and have them help you or do it for you to be safe.

don't worry i have no intention of selling them if i don't feel safe using them myself. Not everyone is out to make a buck. I just thought i would help out my fellow growers by getting them wired correctly and then selling them for whatever i pay in new wire and time of rewireing like, $30.
