Here's what I'm working with. I've idea how old it is. I inherited a shop with a bunch of these sitting around, so I'm trying to put connectors on so I can see what's going on with them.My guess is that the green stripe is a ground and the two white wires don't matter which is hot and which is neutral. But you should never trust the colors on older equipment without doing some investigation... it's not worth risking your life over. When it comes to you straight from ETC, you can assume things are wired correct, but when it's been around for years... how do you know what has been done to it since it was manufactured. Does it have a connector on it or are you trying to install a connector? What type of connector? What type of light fixture is it? What type of lamp? Can you open it up and see where the wires connect on the inside? If you don't know model names take a few pictures and post them and we should be able to help you.
Is this what you're looking for?Sure looks like @gafftaper was on the money. A photo from underneath the lampholder would confirm.
The Altman 360Q fixture line had a very long life, from 1974-2015. Based on the paint on yours, I'd say it's closer to the former than the latter. Still a serviceable fixture. As has been said, since the unit uses a medium bi-pin lamp, the hot and neutral wires can be interchanged with no ill effects.Here's what I'm working with. I've [no] idea how old it is.
