[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1105896, member: 369937"] US bi-pin AC plugs on most lamps have one pin a bit larger, this way the hot side is always to the center button. Now I'm not talking about a regular analog type bulb, but using LED bulbs to replace the old style bulbs I have now, I bought 4 standard 240 volt rated bulbs back about ten years ago, I'm down to the last one as a replacement as one has bit the dust, and I am having problems finding replacements here in the US, [B]this is why I am looking into 240 volt LED type bulbs as replacements,[/B] but have no idea if they would take the dual phase AC power setup. (120 volts on both sides) The reason I'm using the lights is that the air compressor, 3 phase motor generator and whole shop vacuum system are located outside the main shop in a seperate building, I have a problem with going up to the house at night and leaving something running,(old brain, bad ears) this drives up the old electric bill, so the lights tell me that something that uses a lot of power is still on.
