I know there is a question in here somewhere, but I can't figure it out.

Shouldn't working on 277/480v (obviously in a commercial setting) be left to a professional? :( :rolleyes:

Tips:
Every wire on an HID ballast is labeled.
Not all ballast are wired the same.
There is a wiring diagram on every ballast.
