    Wiring for the Nano 25

    I need help wiring up the ballast for the nano light. The socket has four postions, and the ballast only has three leads. Two reds and one yellow. Can anyone help me with a wiring diagram.

    thanks,
    Tim

    Two reds get tied together; two yellows get tied together. They can go on any pin, like this:

    Thanks,
    However, as I stated earlier, I have two reds, and only one yellow. Is the yellow common between two pins?

    Thanks,
    Tim

    Yes, any adjacent pins. Same with red; you can eliminate one the of long reds if you want, and just use the remaining red on the two remaining adjacent pins.

    Thanks,

    Have a great day
