Par lamps and standard household outlets
Thu, 26 Nov 2009, 04:08 pmHi, 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!
Sorry, I checked again!

Thanks Jeff, you've cleared things up for me alot! =) It seems okay then ... just worried me with the nice little bang though, the powerboard fried and a pin on the plug melted ... maybe the powerboard was just bad to start with. Thanks guys!
