What looks like a high-performance weep hole begs the question, "Was it ½ full or ½ empty?"

Most people don't know that you can increase the ampacity of your conductors if they're water cooled.

My concern is more with the unterminated ground wire from the fixture, via the cord.
Scenario:
Some unwary soul goes to troubleshoot this fixture (maybe take a voltage test).
If there was a winding to core short in the ballast (which would have gone on undetected indefinitely without a ground connection)...well, then

What would be the end result???

Ah,

I thought you were attacked by insects here.

Electure:
Bitten once, know what you mean.
I make it a "habit" to always carry a non-contact voltage detector. I check the fixture housings before I touch them. This is a common problem. "The green wire don't do anything" mentality. 277 volt jolts are not a good thing.

HotLine,
Tell me about it!.
Man, this could be really dangerous on a wet Metallic roof.
Some-one needs a damn good kicking, for this one!.

hotline1 : try to deal with 480 unground fixures they are my top of worst type of fixure to deal with it especally on wooden post i got "hit " with it before.... and i have a habit to use non concat voltage tester almost everywhere i go now including home area i have work on metel box and somecase have hot and nutureal or ground wire revresed that is spooky i really hate it grrrrrrrrrr

merci marc
