awesome, thx for the help guys.

I'm wiring up the recepticles in my shop. I'm running #12 thhn wire in 1/2 inch emt. The emt runs from the breaker box to junction boxes, then down to each recepticle box. My question is do I need 6 wires going to from the junction box to the recepticles. 2 hot, 2 neutral, and 2 ground...

In the picture you were looking at, the red wire on the front end was the switching wire. It's a Sylvania ballast and I had to wire it with the black wire and run the white/neutral wire by itself to work so it was different then the ballast from the later pic that had the gray wire

Got em working, thanks for the help guys. One last question. Would it hurt to run a 3rd wire (ground) on the circut to each light from my breaker panel to each fixture or would there be no need for it?

Ok, so I only need to run 2 wires, one power (black) wire and one neutral (white) wire and they'll be good to go. Should there be a wire coming off the ballast that I ground to the case?

Ok, so I only need to run 2 wires, one power (black) wire and one neutral (white) wire and they'll be good to go. No need for a ground because the ballast is bonded to the case correct?

ok, I have pics of ballast and diagram below. hope this helps.

The way they were wired up at our shop, the light didn't turn on independently of each other when was powered up all four lit up. I'll try to take the fixture to where I can get to the actual ballast and send a picture

I couldn't find a wiring diagram on the ballast anywhere. it's just 3 wires coming out and then a spot on the bracket for a ground screw

I have some t5 lights that I plan on wiring in my detached accesory building. I have six of them total that I plan on running on 3 switches of 2 so I can save on energy and just use 2 of them at a time. My first question is should I be fine running all of them on the same 20a circuit...

You won't find mobile home feeder 2 2 2 4 at Home Depot or Lowe's all they have is Ser cable at least where I am from. I got mine from wire and cable to go. awesome deal. 1.37 per foot shipped.

yes I had another thread. I know it definately needs to be cleaned up

here ya go

here's a look at the diagram as well

yes, I'll remove that plate and post pic later today
