    help with old IceCap Ballast

    I have an older icecap a 450. I want to wire in three lamps.

    I have wiring diagrams for two and four bulbs but not for three. The newer 430 ballast has different wiring, including fewer wires from the ballast. So I can't use the 430 diagram.

    I've contacted IceCap twice but they do not respond. Does anyone have a reference for wiring 3 bulbs to a 450?

    Thanks,

    Hi tkg!

    Surprising to hear that no one from Icecap has responded. I just sent Andy Howard an e-mail with a link to this thread. I am sure he will have a resposne for you soon. ;)

    I'm also moving this to the Lighting forum, might get some opinions there.

    Thanks Scott. I'll look forward to a response. In their defense I only sent my second message today, but the other was last week and I'm anxious to wire up those new bulbs I got from Reefland.
