Power Req
Power Req
(OP)
I am Looking at this Stage Lighting Lamp and not quiet sure of what to make of the power spec.
Power Requirements: Standard AC power distribution from 200– 264 VAC, 50/60 HZ. The unit requires 7 to 12 A depending on the AC supply voltage.
Is 200-264VAC standard in the US? Is this perhaps for a European spec?

Thankyou.

RE: Power Req
If this is stage lighting then the chances are it is designed to survive on generator power too, hence the wide tolerance.

RE: Power Req
If you supply it anything in that range you're good to go. That even means if you have some coat hanger and paper clips wiring scheme that sags all over the place as more lights are turned on or off, the unit will still function to specs.
Most all electronic supply driven devices now list the functional operating range instead of more precise country limited voltages.

RE: Power Req
Your lamp should function on all of the above.
In the US and Canada 277 volts is a common industrial voltage. (Phase to neutral on a 480 Volt wye system) I would NOT use your lamp on 277 Volts without a bucking auto transformer to drop the voltage a little.
