here is a better shot of the yoke.
I think that same weather tight fitting that you see on the left would fit into the yoke hole nicely. line all that up on a weather tight junction box and you would have a nice looking install.
Think i just got some odd leftovers.
Yup bale is different. Odd, but I'm sure our Osram member will be along in a minute or two.I think you just got the wrong model.

I've honestly never heard of a C13/14 inlet being used on anything other than a desktop PC. They certainly aren't common for home or commercial lighting fixtures. If anything, on higher-powered items the way to go is (in my opinion) Neutrik PowerCon connectors. But these were meant to be simply replacements for the T3 Halogen fixtures already in use. So we popped on a normal grounded power cord, and left off a plug so the user can attach it to a junction box, or put an edison plug, or 2P&G stage pin connector, etc. on it. whatever meets the needs of their space..
Sure powercon has some benefits, but it has a lot of negatives too. Not being able to connect or disconnect the plug while the circuit is live is a HUGE drawback, and potential danger IMO. And I can't even count the number of times I've watched hands struggle to plug power in into the power out on a fixture or vice versa. They get it and NL-4 confused, you would think they would have at least been smart enough to make it a different color so it's easier to differentiate the two to help reduce confusion. And of course they can't figure out how to unplug it so they end up taking the plug half apart or they break it. TrueOne fixed some of those problems, but of course the industry hard already (foolishly IMO) make powercon the standard. It'll be a happy day when powercon is no more.
