T5HO DIY Help

[wolrey]

Does anybody have a link (with pictures?) on how to wire waterproof T5 endcaps. I've tried some google searches and haven't come up with anything helpful. I just got my shipment from reefgeek today and I can't fiqure out how the endcap wires go in. I'm sure its something simple and once I see how I will have to hit my forehead...but in the meantime I have no idea.

Thanks,

Jeff

splice the wire about 1/2" of the solid core exposed. just slide them in to the holes on the bottom of the endcap. Two wires for each endcap.

There should be a colorcoded diagram on the ballast to show which wires go where.

If you mess it up and need to take the wires out, easiest I have found is to twist the wires back and forth as you pull.....

Thanks David,

Under better light I can see the push in connectors your talking about. I was envisioning having to remove the round black bulb connector somehow....

With any luck I might have T5 before the meeting.
