Re: Doing MH!
Yeah Yote I was kinda worries about the glass acting like a heat source but I'm hoping the fan running right across the bulb and ontop of the glass will cool everything down enough. Another trial and error quest.LOL Well we will see when I get everything in and wire her up. I can hardly wait.

Re: Doing MH!
Hello my name is Bobby, and I am addictide to DIY!
It's all I can think about today. I came home early to day because my wife is sick and I cant stop thinking about building this thing.LOL Ok so I officially have ants in my panties.LOL I deffinetly have all the wiring figured out, I just have to wait on the bulb from ebay and reflector from hellolights to get here. Man I can't wait I'm ready for the project. I might even try making a pendant for the reflector to go in, in my welding class. I can't stand the freaking wait.

Re: Doing MH!
Here's two pics of the reflector and mogul socket I got from hellolights.com.
[IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG]Here is the ballast and box all wired up with the top off to see inside. [IMG]  [/IMG]Here's the wire going into the box. I'm not real crazy about the orange but the cord was on sale for 3.99 so I got it instead of green. [IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG]Now all I have to do is wait on the dang bulb.LOL
