[SML] Source 4 Power and LED Cabling

[Alf Sauve']

Sometimes the simplest of specs can be hard to fathom.

How much power at full brightness do the ETC Source 4 LEDs draw?

Here's what their spec sheet says about Power Consumption.

100VAC to 240VAC 50/60 Hz universal power input
• Neutrik power in and thru connections
• Requires power from a non-dim source
• Up to nine fixtures (15A max) may be linked via power thru
connector (ten fixtures total per circuit) when used with R20
Relay Module or Unison Echo Relay Panel. Consult breaker
trip curves when used with other equipment
• Inrush
-- 120V: 11A (First half-cycle)
-- 240V: 15A (First half-cycle)

Why can't they just say:  Max current draw x.xAmps?

Also, there may be limits within each lamp as to how many you can daisy chain the power through the units (1 twist lock to power con, and link the units via power con).  Not a bad idea to split the loads up.  If 1 unit fails, you won't lose your entire pipe.
