Hi, I would really appreciate some help on this ... I have some PAR16 (60 Watt) lamps and i was wondering is it okay to plug about 4 into a power board and into a standard 240v household outlet? I was wondering, because just now I tried plugging ONE into a powerboard and into an outlet and the lamp blew and tripped the circuit ... so I'm not sure what to think anymore. Help would be appreciated, I deal with mostly sound and lights are really my epic weakness =) Thanks in advance!

I'm with David. I have seen

I'm with David. I have seen a 12V PAR 16 plugged into a 240volt circuit and the bright blue flash was interesting. The only 240V PAR 16's I know of are the GU10 bulb. Usually 50 watt. Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing. www.tonymoore.id.au
