Okay, So I just got some free strip lights today. I don't know how good they are, but they work and each lamp is 300w and theres 16 lights all together divided by 4 dimmers, so yeah, I'm pretty happy.
HOWEVER, I have a couple questions I hope yall can answer for me.
In an Eddison plug, which ones Hot, and which is Neutral? I'm sure the bottom one is ground, but just wanted to be sure.
Second, Each lamp like i said is 300w, with 4 one one dimmer, soI'll only have 1200w on each dimmer. And our dimmers can handle 2400w, so I'm not worried about that. But the plug says its 125v. Im use to working with 120v, so is this going to be a problem? It says it on the eddison plug itself, not the lamo, and I don't have a manual to go along with the lights. I have ETC Sensor racks btw...
Third, I'm not planning on doing this, but just because I'm curious. The light has 4 male adapters, obviously to plug in. Which I'm going to convert to stage pin. It also has 4 female outputs so I can connect all 4 dimmers to another strip light:
Which since each dimmer will be holding 1200w off each light, if I add another strip it'll be 2400, and thats a little to close so I don't want to do it. But like I said, just because I'm curious, If I change the male end to stage pin, and If i wanted to connect it to another strip light that was using eddison, do I have to change the femal and male of the other one to stage pin or could they remain eddison?
EDIT:
Forgot to mention, the plug says 125v, but each bulb says 120v
