Ballast Power Cord Question

jessie.diamond · Feb 9, 2010

So, my bat-wing reflector came with a socket and cord--and the cord plug doesn't match my ballast. Can you tell me if there's a cheap and easy way to connect this lamp cord to my ballast? (Plug converter? Different cord?)

Thanks for the help!

PS: Yes, I know that the bat wing's didn't get good reviews by Pico--but it was perfect for my grow room.

PPS: The light is a 1,000w HPS and the ballast is the convertible 1000w from Hydro-Farm.

Looks like a sunsystems plug and a hydrofarm ballast.
They are competors and I dont know of an adapter but I do know you can go to a local hydro shop and get a new hydrofarm plug. Cut the old one off and wire it back up.

They have Sunleaves to Hydro-Farm ballast cord converters for about $10, and they have both types: from SL to HF and the reverse.

They had them at my local Hydro store. And now I'm set! Thanks for the tips!
