220v MH/Profilux?

[jamesdawson]

Hi Micheal.

Can you tell me if it is possible to control (have my Profilux switch on/off) 220/240v MH ballasts here in North American (the land of 110v)?

The reason being is I just purchased 220+v Osram Dali ballasts (for my 1st generation 220+v with a 220+v to 110v voltage converter Sfiligoi Stealth 8x54w T5 & 2x250w MH) so I can get and run a Dali card for the T5s.

I plan on running a dedicated 220v outlet and scrapping the voltage converter so I would also like to run the MHs on 220v. The T5s shouldn't be a problem on 220v since I understand they just plug into the 220v outlet and the Profilux Dali card turns them on/off as programmed.

I just need a solution for the MH switching. Can I just get a Profilux 220v powerbar and use that (I'm not sure which one as Profilux has several 220v plug styles listed? I guess if I could I will also need the 220 plugs that fit that powerbar.

Thanks,

James

Hi

You will need a 220V power bar from GHL to do this if you wish to run 220V

You will however need to change the plug on the power bar to USA version 220V and also change the light fixture plug over to Euro spec.

All I need to know from you is whether you wish for a 4 way or 6 way power bar and also what Euro socket type (UK or German Shuko)

OK, good to know.

It will probably be towards the end of the year before I pull down the fixture and make the switchover. I'll probably wait for a 220v PAB and use it for both the MH and T5s.

Thanks a bunch,

James
