Is there a way to put a connector in T5 lighting wires so I can disconnect wires without removing bulbs from the hood.
How it is at the moment is I am using 2 t5 ballast in my hood but when removing the hood it takes 2 people as its a 6 ft and heavey hood.
I need 3 people when taking the hood off because 1 needs to hold the lights while the other 2 lift the hood off.
In hind sight i wish I had gone for an open top with an over tank luminaire.
So i have 2 options
option 1 is convert the hood to open top either pay £100 for an open top hood to be made or try and convert it my self and buy a 5ft over tank luminaire.
or Option 2
Find a way to splice a connector into the wires so I disconnect the wire to the bulbs before removing the hood.
Any suggestions
Option 1 will cost around £100 for the new pelmet or diy one for little cost and £169.99 for 5ft lumireair 4x 80w bulbs
