So, I just received a
practical sign today (rental) that has the same belt light pictured, wired with 4 "
Edison" 2 pin plugs. One has the
neutral and each of the others only has a hot. I had a lot of the same concerns raised here, but the people I'm renting from assure me it works. I'm having a different problem though, and I may be missing something obvious. I plugged the
connector with the hot and
neutral into a standard wall
outlet, which powered up 1/4th of the sockets. I could
meter the correct ones and get 120v AC no problem, but I tried 6 or 7 different style of A
base (Medium) bulbs and NOTHING would light up... Bulbs tested, sockets metered, can't explain why nothing will light, any thoughts?
Also, the 4 dimmers I was planning on using would be consecutive, which means in my Sensor racks, probably 2 cards on 2 phases. Do I need to try and split them better? or make them one
phase? I don't think I have a spare
Shoebox right now, but if that's the safest way, I could try to free one up...
