Also, if it's 240v it's not gonna be 3-wire where I can just take a jumper over to the other leg, right? I'll definitely let you now, and I have fellow LG member Icefoglights within reach by text message so between you two I'll probably figure it out LOL.
What are the odds of anything going wrong after it's powered up for the first time in easily at least a decade after sitting outside, much of that time upside down? Capacitor bursting? Might be a PCB one...Anything else turning into a pyrotechnics display? Could test it on a GFCI outlet for sure, assuming it's 120v that is. Myself and my electrically savvy godfather looked at it a few years ago and were pretty stumped. It had two transformer looking coils, so what kind of ballast/voltage might that be? You told me years ago but I don't remember. LOL.
If its guts are bad and/or become bad (burst into pyrotechnics) when I try it would you still possibly want the light, as-is, to see what might be salvageable? If that was the case I might just wire the socket directly to the mains and use it on 120v with a large CFL or remote ballast it to 175w probe start MH. Actually, I might be able to stuff my Keystone CWA ballast in there, if I removed the factory guts, with some fudging, or build a remote ballast box. It could theoretically be pretty far away if need be, since no ignitor is involved, being probe start. Would it be morally wrong to stick a clear 1979 Westy Lifeguard in there and put it in nightly service somewhere?
