Help wiring up a fluro

[NEOBUD]

Hello, i just bought this twin fluro fitting but it has no cord, so can any sparkys out there give me a hand here with hooking this thing up, here's some pics

pretty simple.. strip about 7-10mm of the ends of each wire on the plug.. I like to give thema little twist also... use plyers or knife.. be carefull not to cut any of the strands...

 

the brown wire is the active.. put that in the A slot.. or where the red wire is...

the blue wire is the nutral... put that where the N is...

the earth.. some use them some dont... if theres a spot for that in the middle or somewhere else that says E.. put it in there.. if not just put a connector on it... or cut it off flush so no copper is showing.. there should be a spot for it...

 

STAND BACK and turn it on.. lmao.. it should be ok.,. when you make the connections make sure theres no copper showing.. it needs to have plastic all the way upto the connector...

 

is that cord going to be long enough?? if not you can easily get a cheapo 1-3m extension cord and cut it of at the length you need.. or a little longer... id have it about 1.5-2m long... just incase you need to put it somewhere else...

Put that Earth wire in the slot between A and N

Cheers dude That was too easy. I hooked up the earth anyways and no worries. The cord is a bit short though

 

I only bought the one light but tommorow i will buy another. So if i wanted to attach another light to the same power cord do i tap another active, nuetral and earth wire into the power cord and then attach those to the next light?

go from the light you put the cord into to the new light.. they will both run of the same... I think youd be better doing them seperate though....

get a double adapter and split them man you then can have more versatility with them plus it will provide you with a fix to your short cord problem..

[NEOBUD]

Yeah the double adapter would probably be easier, cheers

Good idea to connect the earth, even though the light will certainly work without it.

It is there for safety in case the active comes in contact with the metal frame.
