You got that mixed up a bit, the input power must not connect to a common. Don’t wire up nothing yet. Have you got the capacitor and starter?

It’s a working light on 120v Had this thing for 15 years and never had a problem with it.
Looks exactly like train wreck I puffed on back around 2004-2006. Hope it’s good. Looks good!

IT"S WORKING!!!
Going to give my GOOD neighbor a train wreck mother plant. He’s got it coming.
To hook up 220/240 to magnetic ballast. One 110/120 leg to the 240 leg on ballast. The other 110/120 leg goes to one of the 2 commons. The other common leg goes to the light bulb.
Simple as that.
On the down side it is pulling the same amps in total. Just a little over 9amps.

Sorry that was at start up. At full tilt it’s pulling 4.55 leg 1 and 4.56 leg 2 Just over 9 amps. Guess it just spreads the amps over 2 legs instead of pulling 9 on 1 leg at 110v It cuts down on heating the wires.

Not yet. Two things I must do first. One pull out the 220v timer from the old closet and two waiting on the xxl hood with cool tube that will be here on friedday.
Thinking on setting up 2 400w 1 hps 1 mh also in the room. The 2 400’s running them 4hrs on first then off for 4 hrs while the 1000w is running then back on for another 4 hrs. To simulate outside lighting. Should help cut back on the power consumption. Still kicking idea around in my head just don’t know yet if I will implement the idea.
Thanks for stopping by Uncle_Al puffpuffpass

if you are not using the cool tube for extraction you will get more light by removing the glass.

Veg room babies doing great.
I’m having PH problems in the flower room. My old meter finally crapped out so we bought a bluelab ph pen today. It will be here on friedday. Then I’ll know what’s going on with my soil. Whatever it is it’s something new.

Looks starved. PH is my first guess.
