Those who have installed Workhorse Ballasts!

[streakerx]

I am trying to install my workhorse WH2 Cube ballast into my Alife 7 but i'm not sure which wires go to where... Do the primary colors (the pink/red wires) go to the power source? And what do you do with the ground wire since the stock ballast has no ground? Also is it correct that the white and black wires go to the light?

1x13, 1x18, 1x27 use this:

your ballast has FIVE wires

white goes to white (power cord)

black goes to black (power cord)

reds goes to bulb

yellow goes to bulb

 

i'm assuming you have the proper bulb sockets? should i mention DIY with bullet connectors... never mind. waaaay too advanced.

 

please shrink wrap your connections and shield everything from salt spray/creep. i smell a fire in the future, don't ask me why.

 

good luck, hope this helps. :|:|:|

I direct wired the light and used the switch to power the fan only. I run the light on a timer, so it does not need to be attatched to the switch. I can turn of the fan if I don't want to hear it.
