G'day. I come from Australia and I have a 600watt HPS and a heap of 400w Metal Halide lights. The sockets are about 50 bucks and they are neutral so you dont have an earth wire and are therefore two pin plugs. I went to an electrician store and I said I wanted to hook up the light sockets with a two pin plug cord and he said that I would need a ballast, which I will get in the future but not now. Is he right, or can I just plug in my lights with a heavy duty cord? When the electrician knew what I was upto, he refused to help me so thats why I'm asking you guys and some other ppl I know. Any feedback would be useful....Thanks....Daniel
