Molex connectors for T5 quick disconnect? And MH disconnect question

[Dtilton]

Hi all-

I have the reefgeek Sunlight supply Tek lights for my actinics- 2x 54w bulbs for a 4 foot canopy. I've been looking for a quick disconnect for the 6 wires that go from the ballast to the lights so I can unplug them easily. I found a Molex connector with 6 pins- .093 circuit connector rated for 18-22 wire. The wires to the ballast are 18g solid copper. Can this connector handle the voltage and amps? There's no info on the package about limits or capacity. If not what have other people used on their flourescents for quick disconnects?

For my MH I have a sunlight supply BW-7 dual 250 HQI ballast. I bought these disconnects at U Do It Electronics today- Calrad AC Power connector- 250 V AC at 10 Amps. I have a corresponding male and female end for each to put a set on each of the power lines to the MH lights. Are these appropriate,or will they eventually burn my house down?? This is the female end of the connector-
