Full Version: Detailed pics of wiring
Just wondering if anyone had pictures of their wiring? What I have is the LL Ballast and mogul and ushio, the evercool fans (already wired to a 12v adapter), A benq 557s v2, I'm not familiar with wiring but I can accomplish the task with some detailed pics. That's how I got the fans wired up. I have seen all the wiring diagrams posted but find it a little hard to decifer seeing as I have no experience with wiring. And before anyone says "get a friend that knows wiring to do it", I know NO ONE that knows anything about wiring. Just hoping someone here can help. Thanks all...
This is the only thing holding me up. I can't really proceed until I understand completely what goes where. Would really appreciate any help given...
Where does the power source come from going into the box? Is it an extension cord and if so what size does it need to be? How do you determine which is the -, + or the ground???

You really need to try and find someone to help you, heck even if you go into a TV repair shop or phone up an electrician in yellow pages they may help you. Tell them what you want to do and ask for help with wiring. I stayed with straight 120 in my cct even the fan is 120 so I wouldn't have to worry about a transformer to bring it down to 12V, easier this way.
There IS NO + & - reference with 120V AC. It hot, neutral and ground.

Ya, there are even simpler wiring diagrams floating around the forums. As a matter of fact, "wiring diagram" would make the perfect search term 
Hope it works out well for ya and don't get nervous, just but be extra careful!

If you are going to use a fan thermostat(recommended), it can't get easier than this:http://www.lumenlab.com/forums/index.php?s...indpost&p=63391
It is as simple and thoroughly explained as I can make it.
Study it and it should make sense to you. If you are not using the thermostat, I would recommend studying the diagram in the guide.
