How to plug in a Philips Low Pressure Sodium Bulb using a Ballast

[Yoav Erez]

Hi folks!

I bought these 3 things:

• Leviton 8806 Bayonet Base, keyless, HID, Glazed Porcelain Lampholder
• Fulham WH2-120-C Workhorse Adaptable Ballast
• Philips 327817 35-watt T15 SOX35 Low Pressure Sodium HID Light Bulb

But I don’t know a ton about electricity or LPS bulbs and I need to safely plug this in to a regular 110 wall outlet. I’m not sure what the purpose of the Ballast is, but I’m guessing I have to wire it into a power cable that will then plug into the wall. Am I right?

And do the 2 white cables from the Lampholder connect to the Black & White cable on the Ballast?

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Is your lamp listed ? I have know idea if this ballast will work with your lamp . I kind of doubt it . What lead you to chools that ballsat / lamp combination .

Always buy a HID lamp & ballast as a matched set . The purpose of the ballast is to provide the lamp with the proper voltage & curnt to start , then to run .

God bless
