Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 HiI am interested in a Light-O-Rama kit but my major concern is the English plugs. How easy is it to use in England, will an adapter be fine for the main unit?Also, how do the outputs from the unit then connect to sets of lights?Are kettle plugs used or American two pin plugs used? If American plugs are used, how is it easy to connect UK lights to the units and to make them safe for outdoor use?I have searched the forum but there doesn't seem to be anything about it.Thank you in advance and I am sure there will be more questions to follow.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Almost all UK users purchase the CTB16DWHS then add the power cords source locally. This eliminates the need for adapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Thanks for the reply.Do you mean this (http://store.lightorama.com/ctcotrbowihe.html) board? Then I could use two power cables and then any heavy duty cables for the 16 channels with the plugs that I want to attach the lights with?I would also need the software, usb to cat 5e adaptor, and cat5e cable, anything else?

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Yes the CTB16DWHS and Generic Starter Package (Part #SPK-ST) will get you started. The Generic Starter Package has the software and adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Thanks, after PM'ing Darren about lights in England, getting the complete starter pack might be the easiest option as getting 240v outdoor lights without transformers or with "fancy" lighting is near impossible, whereas american 110v lights are widely available on the internet. Using a transformer from 240v to 110v (used in the building industry here) would probably be the best route.Unless someone has a good site they get English proper lights from.
