This is more of a thread for those of you who are knowledgeable of the inner workings of hps lighting fixtures.
Alright, here's the deal. A while back, I did some computer work for a buddy of mine's step father. In payment, as he was short on cash, he offered me a HPS fixture... an outdoor fixture. I took it apart, and took the components out of it. I assume I need it all to make the light work. And I figure I'm going to need a cord of some sort as it doesnt have one that plugs into an outlet.
My question is, basically, what am I going to need to do to these components to get the light in working order so that I can use it when I flip down the road? Would it be cheaper and/or easier to just buy a 100w ballast?
