PC Lighting Retro-Fit Schematic???

ReefGuy69 · 12-02-2006, 03:08 PM

I bought (3) 96 watt PC retrofit kit a few years back . Today i disconnected it from my old hood and want to set it up in my new hood. Problem is i dont remember what wires go together. I tried to tape the matching wires but that didn't work. Anyone happen to have a schematic on how it goes together? i have 2 ballasts and 3 50/50 bulbs. i use to have it set up so in the morning the blue ones would come on and then an hour later bright white, then an hour before night the white would go off leaving just blue then an hour later, lights off. Any help would be great. thanks

Maybe this will help. I have 2 sets of red wires coming out of each ballast along with one yellow wire for each ballast. Then on each end cap i have a brown and blue wire.

Thanks, i checked out the site. it shows me how to rig 2 PC's with a VHO or 2 PC's. It doesnt show me how to rig 3 PC's. but thanks anyways. Worst comes to worst i will call ahsupply on monday and see if they can send me the diagram.

Bump, Anyone else have any idea how i rig these back together?

ReefGuy69 · 12-05-2006, 09:04 PM

Ok well I have my diagram i was looking for. Wasn't that fast? Well here is how the story goes. I took the # off the AHSUPPLY.com site where i bought my lights from a few years back. I called the # today at work. I spoke with a guy named Kim. He asked what lights i had boughten and offered to email me the diagram so i would have it tonight when i got home. I then came home to the email and it was of a different set up. I panicked for a second and then read closer. Kim looked up my previous order and realized i requested the wrong diagram. So he took it upon himself and sent me the right one as well as the other one just incase i might have been right. Then told me to call them back if i had any questions about the diagram. I have to say a big thanks to www.AHSUPPLY.com for hooking me up so fast, and with the correct info, all while having a smile on their face. If anyone is looking for Power Compact Lighting I definatley recommend these people. Ok time to go fiddle around with the lights to see if i can get them back up and running.
