I came across few of these HPS lamps in my storage room and I am completely clueless on how to wire them. Have you ever came across while using them prior LED? if yes, and considering the free wires are the GROUND wires, how would I be able to connect the other 2 pairs?

Unless you know EXACTLY what needs to be done......do not do it! The chances of getting it wrong and either blowing them up or setting fire to your house are high. Do you even have the ballst/s to run them??

Amigo antes demais, falta peças. Precisa 1 lâmpada 2 balastro / reatância 3 ingnitor 4 opcional arrancador Ver se me fasso enter Alimentação, fio castanho ou preto e fio azul. Castanho liga balastro, entrada (1) e sai (3) do 3 vai ligar ao ingnitor (R), do ingnitor sai (L) para castanho da lâmpada. Castanho está. Azul entar no ingnitor (N) e sai no mesmo (N) para azul de lâmpada. Atenção potência de lâmpada W, equipamento tem de ser equivalente em potência. Exemplo lâmpada de 600w, com equipamento de 400w, não vai trabalhar. Sou eletricista de profissão Pode falar comigo em privado se precisar.

google the make an model and get a manual from the manufacture on wiring diagrams and how to hook it up. They pull a lot of wattage so careful if connecting a lot of them. I have a feeling some of the wires are for a controller or piggybacking them. But I've never used them before so I could be completely wrong. Good Luck!
