Geissman lights

[BIGBIRD123]

Anyone know where I can get info about these lights...like wiring diagrams of how to wire from the pennant to the ballast? I am doing a DIY pennant and need to know how to wire that to the ballast plug. I have the plug that plugs into the ballast, too. Any help is appreciated.

I can't believe noone out there doesn't have any info on these lights. (How's that for plain english!) LOL! C-word, I can't even find a website. As many people that talk about how good these lights are, there should be someone that has some paperwork left. any help is appreciated.

Ive doing tenths of searches, havent found anything about geissman lights...sorry BBird :unsure

**Update** I found this in some canadian forum, those guys seem to use alot of Geissman lights.. He said..*Aqua-Medic are less expensive alternatives to Geissman. They're pretty nice (from the pictures I've seen) but Geissman are the Porsche of aquarium lighting. You pay for it, though..*

Apparently they are expensive, but really good..but, havent found a site that sells them..

Steve, how many wires are coming out of the pendant and what kind of ballast are you wiring it to? Whats the pin configuration on the ballast? Usually its three pins at the ballast and two wires from the pendant. More info! If we cant help you here, talk to either AAron or Bruce at Aquatek, theyre a Giesemann dealer... 512 450 0812

Josh,
It's a 175w DE ballast and bulb. I need to wire it from the ballast plug to the bulb and DIY pennant. Here's a pic of the ballast and plug:

How many wires are coming out of that ballast plug, I cant make it out,
and how many wires are coming from the pendant? What kind of ballast is that? Got a pic of the pendant wiring?
Also, I wasnt aware that they made 175 watt DE bulbs...

Maybe it's a 150w but it has five (5) pins on the ballast plug and I have two or three if you count the ground coming out of the pennant. I got the ballast used. Oh! Crap, I'm going to have to talk bad about somebody! LMAO!
