How to wire fluorescent light fixture?

(1/5) > >>

Magnet_Eye:
I want to wire up my cabs light fixture to a plug. It has a green, a black, and a white wire.

I have a 3 pronged plug that says 15v, 125v, and the ground.

Any help is appreciated!

From my limited knowledge of wiring, you want the wide prong to be neutral (white), and the narrow one hot (black) and the prong to be ground (green).

Gideon:
Voila!  I save the day.

StephenH:
Assuming the fixture is the proper voltage for your area (see below), and the ballast (and possibly a starter) are present, you can wire it to a plug.  

Black (Hot) - Narrow Prong
White (Neutral) - Wide Prong
Green  (Ground) - Buttom Prong

AC Line Voltages:

100V - Japan
120V - USA, Canada, Mexico
220V - Europe and Australia

Other locations vary
