    Hmmm is that a 150 watt? I believe you should have a place on the transformer to attach a white common wire. Are there any unused terminals?

    That's kinda scary. :D Well first of all Outdoor....I see that the secondary of the ballast is all that you have. This means that the 'light' side is all there starting from the ballast out to the light. What I don't see are the primary wires coming from the ballast that connects to the 'supply' voltage. That's the other thing....what IS the supply voltage suposed to be for that ballast? Does it say anywhere? IF you are not sure about something it's best left alone. I could prolly wire it for ya in the field, but there's no chance in hell I'm gonna guess and put your life in danger telling you what I THINK is how it should be hooked up. I can't do that and feel good about things. :eek:
