Ballast to reflector lamp cord for Sun System rigs
The Sun System lamp extension cord adds 10 feet of 16-gauge copper reach between a ballast and a reflector. It plugs into the female lamp-cord receptacle on a Sun System ballast, then into the male plug on the reflector cord. 16-gauge copper matches the gauge most reflector cords already use, holding voltage drop tight. The 10-foot length lifts the reflector out of the immediate ballast aisle without splicing or rewiring. Pattern compatibility extends to most ballasts that use the same female-to-male geometry.
Ballast to reflector lamp cord that lifts the hood off the aisle
Growers typically reach for a ballast-to-reflector extension when the reflector needs to ride higher than the ballast tether allows. Place the cable with the female end seated into the ballast first, then click the reflector cord into the male end. Match cord gauge to your existing reflector cord so resistance stays even across the joined run. On a 16-gauge reflector cord the extension drops in cleanly without changing the lamp's electrical behavior. The 10-foot reach moves the reflector across an aisle or up to a higher truss point without a splice. And keeping the joint at a connector rather than a splice means an easy disconnect when reflectors swap. On rooms running 1,000W lamps, the gauge match keeps voltage at the lamp inside spec under continuous draw. That avoids the slow lumen drift that mismatched-gauge extensions cause over a flowering cycle.
Key Features
- 10-foot reach: Lifts the reflector across an aisle or up to a higher truss without splicing.
- 16-gauge copper: Matches the gauge of most reflector cords for even resistance across the run.
- Female-to-male lamp-cord pattern: Drops between a Sun System ballast and a standard reflector cord without adapters.
- Connector-only joint: Makes reflector swaps an easy disconnect, not a splice job.
- Wide ballast pattern compatibility: Fits most ballasts that use the same female-to-male lamp-cord geometry.
