Experience with Sunlight T5 Retrofit Kit.

Hey you guys, I just ordered (3) of the 60" retros from sunlight, and I am installing them for a customer...

I HIGHLY ADVISE YOU to stay away from this retro...
They ship it with a workhorse ballast, and the diagram is very odd.

I ended up taking the 4 red wires and hooking them dirrectly into the 2 endcaps, one wire per opening, and tied the other endcaps in with the 1 yellow wire...

This is not the best Retro, I prefer the Icecap ballast wire's much better, they are much easier...

Anyone else had the same experience?
