MAC 300's - Power Question

Recommended Posts

Hi All

 

I might need to use 4 of these in a normal living room.

 

Is this possible or will I need a genny?

 

I know they use the most power when striking the lamp, so I would only strike one at a time

 

Thanks

Martin Mac 300: 330 W, 1.6 A @ 230 V (their maths, not mine)

 

If you assume a strike current of 6.4a (four times normal current) and only strike one at a time, you could run four from one 13a socket, although you may be pushing it a bit. So spread them over a couple of sockets, gives you a bit more freedom when striking too.

 

Just to add, the fixtures arn't designed for domestic use, there may be safety conciderations (heat, fire...) when used in a 'normal living room'.

Thats cool

 

We are filming a music video in the room. Its quite conceptual and strange, so the room will acutally be empty. And it will only be the actor and crew in there.

 

Not a house party of anything mad like that
