Wiring for T5s

I have ordered T5 lamps, ballasts and sockets for my tank. Can someone point me to where I can find a simple diagram showing how to wire the ballast with the sockets.

TIA

The ballast itself will usually have a wiring diagram on it. What ballast did you get?

I do not live in the US. I have ordered 2x24W ballasts from Germany.

No, not dimmable. Just standard ballasts

What brand ballast did you order? It usually has the wiring diagram on the ballast as mentioned by James77.
