Need some MH ballast adapter help

[Hurricane Aquatics]

Hey all,

I used to know this and I have forgotten. A reef Brite ballast with an IEC female connector, needs to connect to a Hamilton Cayman Sun reflector. The Hamilton has the 3 prong quick disconnect.

Anyone know the adapter cord needed? A
I appreciate your assistance.

The adapter for the Reef Brite ballast looks like a computer tower plug. Like below. The plug you posted above looks correct on the one end, but not the other.

Couple Metal Halide Questions:

I’ll take a pic in a minute of the ballad end. It’s a normal female, like on any brick we plug 110 into that converts to dc.

see post #34..
Change the plug on the reflector side..
I'd cut enough off so as to be able to re-attach it if necessary in the future.
