Light Question HPS

[ozzywhitelufc]

Hi All, I have just bought a 150watt Ballast and HPS Bulb/Light.
My Questions are!!
The cable from the ballast to the ceramic connector is only about a foot long, can I extend the cable as I dont want the ballast in the Cab.
When my light cycle is 12/12 does it harm the bulb and ballast when turning off and on.
Thanks

Ozzy.

Hi jackson. The make on the ballast is Hacel.
Update on the Question. I have extended the cable from ballast to the bulb and its working OK but will I harm the operation of the Gear?

No. I have high bay light that I converted 3 yrs ago that still work fine. Just be sure the wire you used can handle the electric load. If the wire is warm or hot you need to use a bigger gauge wire.

There's no gear...If you open the ballast you'll see it's just 3 parts.The heavy part that creates all the heat is the transformer. Then tied to the side is a capacitor and a ignitor. That;s it and when they stop working they are easy to replace the part that has stopped working...MH lights are even easier as they have no ignitor.
