Sorry, another light question

First off, I have an older hood complete with dual 175w MH set up with the megnetic ballast & mogul type sockets. The ballast I have on this set up looks very old and discolored as if it has been hot in the past.
I would like to upgrade the older ballast only to electronic ballast. The problem I have is the wiring to the sockets/power cord & fan. Also if there is a particular brand of ballast that would be recomended. I also intend on installing a two 46.5 VHO lamps in this hood.
Thanks in advance
Kenny

I would recommend Venture lighting. They have a wide range of ballasts and also have the wiring diagrams for them. It is really easy to do. The wires out of the ballast are labeled, just use the wires you need and tuck the unused ones to the side with wire nuts on them.
I think the ballast are about $40.00 or so for a 175W MH

Sweet, Thanks for the reply. I have been doing a bit of reading on the lights and I might add it is a bit overwelming.
I will do some checking on just the ballast. Like I said I was just concerned about the wiring more than anything.
Thanks Again
Kenny
