Does anyone know how to wire these into a standard wall plug?
Click to expand...

You will have three wires when you get it in. There will be a green,black, and white wire. Buy a heavy duty extension cord and cut off the female end. You will then see green, black and white wires. Just match up the wires and you are set

I just bought two of them....what a find...I've been scrounging around Dallas looking for remodle jobs that might be throwing out Flo's~~ The gas I wasted today, I coulda bought a third!!! LMAO!!

Its easy to wire them up, cut off a heavy duty ext cords "FEMALE" plug about 4 inches back, and just splice wire to wire...follow the colored dots! Black to Black...White to white, and Green to green

Everyone selling 150w HPS grow lights is claiming 16,000 lumens from their bulbs. Not too impressive for a HPS but its only 150w after all...

Yeah Amazon is wierd like that...prices AND shipping fluctuate. If I see something on there that is a steal, and a lot of the times they are steals, I buy it that day. Tough luck, keep looking and I'm sure you'll find something...;-)

i think using 7 would make it a lot hotter than one 1000w. With seven, the heat is spread out over a much broader area, the 1000w, while obviously creating more indiviual heat, is concentrated. does it give a spectrum or a kelv. rating?
