Common
Questions
Will Black Dog LED lights work in my country?
Yes, our PhytoMAX-2 LED grow lights will run on any 50-60 Hz alternating current voltage between 100V-277V. All that is needed is the right cord to plug our lights into the wall. Our lights use an IEC C14 (male) power connector-- the same kind commonly used by computers and HID ballasts-- so all you need is an IEC C13 (female) power cord of the right gauge that will work with your wall outlets. For 120V, we recommend a minimum of 16 gauge cords, and for 240V a minimum 18 gauge cord (smaller gauge numbers are thicker, heavier-duty wires, so 14 gauge will always be "heavy duty" for any voltage). These international power converter cords are usually very easy to find- they are sold at office supply companies, home improvement and hardware stores, and of course on the internet.
We include an 8-foot, 14 gauge 120V North American outlet (NEMA 5-15 plugs) cord with every light. We have other lengths and the North American 220-240V standard (NEMA 6-15) cords available on our site.
