Plug between Ballast and MH bulb?
I have a 150 DE MH retro in my canopy. It's a real pain to remove the canopy because of the wires running to the MH bulb.
I would like to put a plug of some sort between the ballast and the bulb so I can easily remove the canopy. What type of plug is suitable for this type of application? What voltage/amps are carried on the wires between the ballast and the bulb? I don't want to burn my house down because I used the wrong type of plug. Any ideas? |

Current wise any normal 15A plug will work. They should also have enough insulation for 1kV+ (most do).
