Well you only need high voltage wire after the balast. Why would you need
wire nuts after the balast? Don't the wires go directly into the socket for
the lamps?

Hi there,

I have a sal****er reef fish tank and I am going to be upgrading the
lighting to a 175w metal halide setup. My electronic ballast says I
need to use wiring that will support a minimum of 1.2KV so I am going
to special order some 18AWG 2KV wire.

My question is: Can I use regular wire nuts to make my connections or
do I need to use special 'high voltage' wire nuts to do this safely?
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Thanks, Ryan
