when numbering left to right from one to five:
- lines from outlet on 1 and 3
- lines from mounting on 4 and 5

regard that youll need 230V/240V for this ballast

From left to right -

o = is left empty
N = Neutral
The next is for the OUTER part of the socket
The last is for your CENTER post of the socket

What gauge wiring are you planning on using?
dont know? I bought 5 of them on ebay. I was going to split a pc power cable use one end for the plug and one for the bulb connector. . Think I might just sell them on. I'll end up blowing myself up hhahaahah

They look to be decent ballasts if you plan on using 250 watt lights. You could get some good coverage stringing a few of them up. The wiring on them is straight forward and they are a nice compact design. You would need wiring to handle up to a 3 amp power draw, so 16 gauge would be plenty enough.

Have you wired stuff like this up before?

Yes I can see that But I meant on the cable. I suppose Ill have to cut A cable to find out
You might want to consider getting a setup that is already wired. Electricity is not something you want to "stumble" through as the end results of getting it wrong can be real bad (burned down house or electrocution).
