Ive nver seen the square 1 before man

 

[Ghettogrower187]

Yeh well I think it should be square as they're higher amp and better connectors I think this is the problem

Where did u get it at m8? I'd be takin it back and demanding the fuckers fix it or refund it, id be letting them know they near burned my fucking gaf down with kids in, and if he didn't play ball I'd bounce the fucker off his head

 

[Ghettogrower187]

I like your style mg I told the cunt today, didn't have time to take it back tho so I'm going in 2morro...I'll just get a refund I think more stress than its worth man

Did u not say u wired it tho man ??

 

[Ghettogrower187]

No I've not touched the ballast mate just the cable for the hood

 

[irish4:20]

Have a few drinks in me now so tryn to figure this out.... was it the plug u wired that burnt .. the 1 in the pic ??

 

[Ghettogrower187]

Yes mate

 

[Ghettogrower187]

That's the ballast as u can see its got the shamferd IEC plug not the square 16A most are fitted with

 

[irish4:20]

And is the ballast fcked cause of it ??? See if ur usin 1000w and ur voltage is around 230v or 240v ur only ever goin to pull around 4amps so its just the dodgy wirin man sorry to say .... but fckn rite id be goin luckin for sometin

 

[Ghettogrower187]

Your right it does only pull 4 amp tbh I couldn't get the wires any tighter around those screws as when u tighten it up it frays the wire

In the ballast is fine I think anyway lol it happend 1st a week ago and then again last night so I'm just assuming its still OK

Why do most come with a 16A fitting then? I can't get my head around it? Maybe the initial fire up pulls more or something?

I tink the fuse size before a 16 is a 4amp so it wud blow a lot... u really need to use these in pics if no terminal to tighten cable in

 

[Ghettogrower187]

U see on this 16A square one the connections are like that on a normal plug nice n solid

 

[irish4:20]

Yea man much better connections but thats why u shud use the lugs if theres just screws man dnt just try wrap it around at least not in ya own gaff
