Wondering if anyone has ever seen a 5 wire fixture whip? Or what are you doing for high bay fluorescent fixtures with two quick connectors. We usually cut tails and wire nut in fixture. Red, black, white, white, green would be nice.

I see them on fixtures that utilize Lutron Eco ballasts. Brown, Gray, Green, Purple, Purple/tracer.

I see the 6 lamp t5 f bays with a black and white for one linear disconnect,,2 lamps,,then again for 2 lamps and then a 3 port disconnect for a switched and emergency. When i see grey and purple its usually for lighting control panels. I despise the fixtures that come with the single disconnects,,, I cut the ballast side wires and flip it over and use my 4 port cnnector(because i dont carry 3 port only 2s and 4s)to connects the 2 12/2s and re connect the ballast to the other end of the disconnect.
All lay in lights should have a hot in and out disconnect IMO,,,.
