    HIGH All, the lights I get come with a 3 prong plug with a 20 foot cord..so the ballest can be outside the room...which just plugs into wall outlet.

    i dunno wot model that is but if its industral lighting like a lobay or a highbay then u need to get a lengh of good 3core cable and a plug. put the plug on the 1 end of the cable then open up ur balast, inside u will find some where to put the wires, normaly "chocolate block" conectors, them plastic squares with the little screws in. u gotta put the wires into them, it will b marked wot 1s live or u can atleast see the colour of the wires going into the other side of the conector so just match them up live2live earth2earth etc. sometimes u only have a live and a neutral and the earth mounts onto the body of the case somewhere. plz use the earth.

    dont b put off by opening up the balast, if u can wire a plug u can wire a balast.
