Conventional Fixtures Rewiring an ETC Source Four Lamp Housing:

[patriot123]

So I'm trying to get into lighting -- I just graduated high school I just came to acquire an old ETC Source Four, though, today -- was pretty excited. The only problem, however, is that it's missing one wire in the lamp housing (the end piece that holds the lamp) -- it's been pulled out, and I don't know where it went. Does anyone know if there are any diagrams of the wiring for an ETC Source Four lamp housing so that I could repair this? The ground is there, as is another wire which is connected in the same place the ground is. The third wire is missing.

Thanks!

Check out the ETC (maker of the source four) page for the source four. it has all of the wiring diagrams and such for the fixture.

heres a link- LINK


Make sure that you know what you are doing before doing any sort of electrical work. When in doubt CONTACT AN ELECTRICIAN.

Source Four Assembly Guide.pdf. Probably best to replace the entire socket (which come with 36"-44" leads) and upgrade to the 750W version. Any ETC dealer should be able to sell this, for around $20.

From Socket, HPL, for Source Four Ellipsoidals and MultiPARs, 44" Leads :

Source Fours manufactured prior to 1997 [there should be a date on a silver label on the side of the yoke] will not accept the current socket design unless retrofit with one of the kits shown below in Related Items.
