Wiring a powercord
    #489445 - 10/19/10 12:13 PM (13 years, 5 months ago)

So, I have this fixture in my bedroom. I don't use it anymore, and I'd like to use it during the winter time for some of the plants I normally leave on a windowsill (it gets too chilly for them to stay there, so they don't get any direct light).

My problem is, its directly wired into this here box thing. There isn't a normal "plug". I have plenty of old power adapters, but I'm not quite sure which one would be safe to splice onto this?

I have lots of heavy-duty extension cords as well as power cords for PCs no longer in use. Are these appropriate for splicing on?

Does the same apply to a HPS/MH light that was hard-wired into one of these "boxes"?

Thanks.

Why should that mean it isn't real?

I'm not going to be doing this any time soon. If theres no safe way to do it, I just won't.

And I'm not sure what it is. Its a box that has 1 cord going from the light-switch and the other going into my ballast thing there.

Its not a "plug". Its just wires held together with those plastic thingys.

Fuck, I don't know. :lol: I can go buy one for like $20 but this isn't being used, so I figured why not.
