Heh, I stole it from someone else too, so it's all good!

Just be sure to get Heavy Duty extension chords, rated to handle the wattage of your ballasts.

Will do, thanks.

Back to lastlight's question, how do you heatshrink? Does a hair dryer provide enough heat?

Yeah for wider heatshrink I use a heat gun, but a hair dryer is totally fine too (the angle of air will just be wider, whereas a heat gun is more focused).

For smaller heatshrink (like 1/8"), I sometimes just put the soldering iron under it and slowly heat around the heatshrink until it shribbles up.

I knew that you were handy but damn, everything that you've done has turned out so clean and polished with a ridiculous attention to detail. Okay, I'm Audi-here. Got a few more threads/years to sort through..
