More like a typical 120 volt outlet should not be used for anything other than a source for 120 volt 15 amp 60 hz....not a output as a ballast light source! Plus it isn't enclosed....meaning more likely to get a shock! Plus being on a wooden board...hmmmmm........
Form109:
Voltage isnt usually Consistently 120...does it not Fluctuate?
Jace the Gull:
Oh yeah usually they are 110-130 volts....roughly....but it is MADE for the mains....imagine someone accidentally plugs a computer into the HPS powered outlet?

You got the exposed outlet alright, Jace. It was a temporary replacement that the original female NEMA plug got broken.
The purpose that I made this way that I can always interchange with other fixtures similer with the 100W Halide bulb ballast that I posted at the Lighting Gallery....
As for the wood part, that was makeshift that I wanted to use that ballast with capacitor together wherever that I needed to use from one room to another... :-\
