    You can't just wire a normal bulb for an hps you need a ballast. However - white is neutral, black is hot, and green is earth ground. But don't kill yourself.

    I have a ballast and an approriate bulb. I went the more affordable route and went to a electric wholesaler. But im missing a component(fixture i think). theres five wires three are for different power ratings i found which one is 120v(orange) and theres two more which are black and red.?.?
