How do I get my Chinese studio lights to work in the UK?
How do I get my Chinese studio lights to work in the UK?
I just bought a set of three Redheads from eBay in an effort to save some money and they turned out to be shipped from China (I know!). The lights have Chinese plugs but UK adapters were provided. I installed the 230v 800w halogen bulb that was supplied and it failed instantly (shone bright for a split second then popped), as did the other two bulbs. The chinese plug and the UK adapter both have '250v 10A' written on them. There were no specs or instructions with the set so I haven't got much else to go on. Were the wrong bulbs provided? Or were they just crap bulbs? And if the problem is compatibility with the UK mains system, is there likely to be a way to modify this equipment so that it functions properly?
Sounds like they are just faulty or just the bulbs are crap
China uses 220v 50hz
UK uses 240v 50hz
in their domestic single phase supplies.
Normally any appliance which requires an input of 210-240v will work on those supplies
Probably just another lesson in how not to buy from e-bay, especially from the Far East basically.
