Light fixture linkable power

The male plug on the fixture is an IEC-14 plug. The female plug which plugs into that male is known as an IEC-13 connector. The female plug on the fixture doesn't have a name because its not part of the standard. The reason they make that plug female, however, is so you don't electrocute yourself and/or someone and/or damage the fixture, or fixtures if they are chained together. You will short it out if it is male. Rule of thumb with electric is never leave male ends exposed, which is why it is wired that way.

Anyway, I believe AMDJ makes the cable you are looking for. Contact a dealer about it and they should be able to order you some or maybe contact service and they can ship some to you.

Oooohhhh, okay, thanks!!

The above diagram on the first light is also safe, correct? Even though its not a female EINC-13, but is a standard outlet, its okay since its female and no male ends exposed? (har har har)

Sorry for sounding like a noob.

Can I use this, right? Pretty standard and not proprietary?



This handy 6ft. cord can be used to extend your PC or monitor cable as well as connect a monitor to a switched source on your PC. Features an IEC-320-C14 to IEC-320-C13 connection

Yea that would be perfect if you are connecting other lights with the IEC power in. It is good if your lights are within a couple feet of each other. Another route you can take is an IEC-14 to Edison

They're available for purchase from out parts website.

Here's a direct link to where they can be purchased from.

Thanks a bunch for all your help folks!!

1 more question...well, for tonight anyways =P

Some of my DMX don't have the power link option (power-out plug), such as the 800w ADJ Mega-Flash strobe. I figure its because it probably uses a lot of power itself. Is it safe to plug this strobe into the power outlet of one of my led lights, say the Reflex? Or is it more recommended that the strobe be plugged straight into the surge protector power strip?

What about a 250w moving head? Safe to plug into an LED figure or is plugging into the power strip recommended?

Thanks,
Andy

I would home run everything but other LED's with that power link. It is most certainly not rated to handle that much, even the 250w mover.

This is not to say you can't plug the LEDs and the strobe or the mover into the same outlet, just don't use the link for anything but LEDs, namely the same type of fixtures. In your manuals, I wouldn't but surprised if it states a limit as to how many you can actually link out.

Even though you have power pass-thru, make sure you don't exceed the rating of the fuse of the first fixture in your chain or your pop the fuse in that first fixture. Just because you are physically able to chain power doesn't mean you can.
