My 400w MH ballast box, REVAMPED.
Hmm, This should be more to CODE, so is it?!

Used the termanal board that I found with the traffic signal busted on the ground, and it WORKS!

Used 2 crimp on Slip on connectors on the wires, then slid them on the terminal board, And the wires to the socket are connected via screw.

Looks good...don't see anything wrong with that.The electrical tape could be a little tighter on the terminals tho. Razz

Hey...that Terminal Block looks like the ones they sell in Radio Shack...also...i would have Prefered Heat Shrink Tubing to electrical tape.

I can't see if your box is grounded, but if it is, everything is fine! ^_^ I think that electrical tape isn't necessary (are they connectors or bare wires?)

Looking good, Cool I myself like using heat shrink over electrical tape but if you used the preinsulated terminals you don't need to wrap it in electrical tape.

They are preinsulated, Just that I want them to stay ON.

The box is grounded. this shot doesn't show it, but some others do, after these modifications the grounding is still the same, on the screw where the cap is held.
