  1. 600W HPS Ballast wiring
    So I got a 600 W HPS bulb + 600 w HPS ballast, it has the following conectors (6): Input L, Input N, Lamp N, 230 V Lamp L, 240 V Lamp L, Earth.
    Should be easy right?
    The Bulb goes into 240 V Lamp L and Lamp N, and Input L, Input N & Earth goes to the power outlet.
    That should be it, if I'm not mistaking.

    Neither the bulb or ballast didn't came with instructions for wiring.

    What puzzles me is the reflector, wich came with the right socket for the bulb, from wich leaves 3 wires. It's obvious that 2 of them are the L and N for the bulb, and the third wich is connected directly to the reflector surface...that goes?where?.

    I should connect the reflector to the earth?
    All can be seen clearly in the photos

    Sorry, this is my first time doing it and I don't want to mess it up.
