Quick question, when wiring up meanwells, (eln 60-48D) i was wondering if i can splice the power cords together to run them to a single socket per channel (2 ballasts per socket) I just dont want to take up 4 sockets for ballasts, and another 2 sockets for 10v's. If i can get it down to 2 and 2 that would be great.

Not an electrician so i wanted to check on this first...
 
You should be fine doing it that way. Find out what the plug your using and the what the cord is rated for. Don't just use el cheapo extension cord, it will get awefully hot on you.
 
Pick yourself up a length of 12 gauge SJO cord from the big box home improvement store along with a male cordcap. That will be sufficient.
