I`m trying to build the whole system by myself .. for the HPS lamp ofcourse .. I got the choke ,capacitor , starter and the lamp ofcourse ..
I couldnt find the drawings of the wiring conection , I got this photo .. it how it suppose to look like .. but it aint clear enought .. I`ll really appriciate it if some one could help me with that ..
I already started 12/12 cycling with cfls so i need to figure it up pretty fast .. tnx
And i forgot .. its an 100W lamp and the choke is also 100w ..

it really is easy standima, really only thing you need to buy is that glass hurricane from hobby lobby.
