ELECTRICIANS, How Do I Wire LED Flood Lamps?

[jcardona1]

there is a reason electricains do a 4 yr apprenticeship.......
oh yeh thats it - you cant smell, see, or hear electricity which makes it very dangerous when you dont know what your doing.

By that logic we shouldn't even be allowed to plug a cord into the wall.

oh and the fact its also illegal (over here it is)

It's Australia. What isn't illegal?

Not for this job!!! This is literally taking a bare extension cord and hooking up 3 wires. You can't go wrong, unless you plug the damn thing and put the bare wires in your butt.

Haha. Yeah, exactly

By that logic we shouldn't even be allowed to plug a cord into the wall.

Pretty much. Stupid laws.

Example: I cannot own an Australian Lungfish without a license in my state. And the license is purposefully a pain to get.
THEY LIVE IN THE NORTHERN RIVERS BORDERING QUEENSLAND HERE.

And don't get me started on owning a paintball gun or airsoft gun.

Easy is pie. Not sure if you saw every page in Arttyfish's thread, but he shows a pic of how to wire them. They aren't your standard black/white/green colors of household wiring:

Saw that, but still had the AC/DC question. Hey, you were supposed to hit me up when you got back from Vegas!

I think I can handle this. I don't see what an electrician would possibly do different than me if I'm just connecting the cord? Oh I know what he'd do different... Charge me money for it.

Seriously though, thanks for the advice.

Oh crap I forgot about that! After this past weekend in Vegas there's a lot of things I don't remember anymore. What time zone are you in?

And I agree. In fact, he'd probably get a chuckle out of you paying him for that. That's like taking your car to the mechanic to have air put in the tires
