Agreed. Many fixture manufacturers say the same thing. This is from Blizzard:
Powering Up!
All fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot be run off a
rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer
channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch.

No doubt. I think it's interesting to see where some of these threads lead us. I'm game to talk about all these things as long as everyone else is.

To the OP, Rather than getting adapters, see if you can change the cover plate or stage pocket to edison AND change the circuits to a non dim. This way no one will use the adapter with an led to dimmer. There are many ways to accomplish this, but as SteveB said, we need more info to help.View attachment 12164 my church is looking to replace it's Conventional pars with new led RGBW fixtures. The problem is that it would cost a ton to get an electrical outlet in the ceiling. My question is if got an adaptor (see the photo above) that would convert the stage power outlet to a three prong connection would this work? See the photos below for the current set up and adapter.

First, I was being a little facetious and academic at the same time. Second, I understand why thyratrons are in the second group but honestly, I suspect more people using auto transformers than thyratron. I kind of wonder if anyone is using thyratron. I've used two in my lifetime but not for a long time - Bates College and the Yale Ex - and saw and talked about Dartmouth's. Could be one running somewhere, probably not the US. I sure would hate to have to source a tube today. Mag amps must be similarly just about extinct - though they would work for ever if allowed. AMazing how robust coils of coper wire are and how unlikely to fail.
