Hey guys, so I'm doing the same thing with a t5ho fixture I bought from contractor lighting. I didn't plan on this, since I paid the extra $18 to have the thing prewired, but nonetheless, they did not include it. Anyway, I went out and bought the knockout adaptor, wire nuts, and a three prong cord. Only problem is that the wires in the fixture are 18 gauge and cord I bought is 16 gauge. Will I safely be able to connect this or should I go back to A-boy and buy a different cord?

Also, I've got the same grey/red wire and I'm not sure what to do with it.. even if it does something, there are only three wires on the cord I bought and one of them is the ground. Should it just be connected with the black cables (which would mean three wires in one wire nut) or with the white? When I cut the wires out the grey/red and black were in one side of the plug and the white was in the other.
