Hello, I'm having some trouble with the wiring. I have a workhorse 5 and 2 55w bulbs. The workhorse has 4 red wires and 1 yellow. Im wondering if someone knows how to set it up. I searched and all i can really find is workhorses 7+ and powering 4+ bulbs. I just need a simple wiring diagram of a workhorse 5 with it powering 2 bulbs. Also for the white and black does it need a 2 prong or 3 prong power cord? Thanks.

On the right choose lamp type, maybe T5 Linear HO? That's what I choose for 55w PL-L's. then choose quantity and wattage - 2x 54w. Click find. Should bring you to the right diagram.

Go to Qupee's link and select "twin" for lamp type, and then "2 x 55w" for quantity & wattage. "Display Diagram" takes you where you want to go.
You want a grounded (3-prong) power cord. Attach the ground to the metal case of the ballast with a crimp terminal on the wire and a screw & nut. Many fluorescent fixtures won't work if they are ungrounded.
