Hey guys... I'm wiring up my lights. Does it matter where the hot and neutral go? LIke into socket I'm talking about. There's the part with the threads... then the part in the center. I'm guessing it doesn't matter, but I'd prefer to do it correctly if there is a certain way to do it. I've been unsuccessful looking online.
Yes it matters,
The Neutral (White wire) in the outlet is the large slot, Hot wire (Black) in the smaller slot in the wall outlet.
hope this helps

I'm talking about the other end. Sorry... wrong socket. I mean where the bulb screws into.
And you know what's odd that I just realized about European outlets... they don't have a direction like that. There's just two holes, and they are identical. ?? How is one to know which is hot and neutral coming out of the wall? And even if I knew, I would have to align the plug correctly when plugging it in. Also, all the wires are different colors than back home. European electrics confuse the hell out of me.
I found something that said the neutral should go to the part with the threads, and the hot should go to the center bit. Now I'm thinking that it doesn't matter how the feed from the wall is hooked up to the ballast... and the ballast sorts it out and puts out hot through the one colored for hot, and neutral for the one colored for neutral.
No idea how the ground works as there are only two plugs on everything ??? First a foreign language now fucking foreign electricity. 220 v @ 50 hz ? WTH.
Google says brown is hot, blue is neutral, and green/ yellow is ground (or earth as they call it here).

Anyone know if MH or HPS run more effiecent
Than the other? I only ask because my power bill was 275. Granted in the past week I've switched my veg chamber to led and I'm changing all the practicals in my house to LED, currently cfl so only really saving 1-4 wats per fixture, but every ounce counts right?
