Ghl Profilux Discussion And Support Thread

@niloc:
sound like the transmission to the last powerbar is disturbed.
What is the control cable length between ProfiLux and powerbar (over all, including all connections)?

@Todd:
maybe only a broken fuse - please contact me or Michael directly via email

I am not sure, I got a '6 way digital power bar' July of 07. How do I tell if it is a series 1 or 2?

I would first try and replace your male end with that of a thicker one (Yellow replacement cord end )
the prongs are a bit thicker and may fix the problem of a a worn outlet.

A 'worn' outlet seems plausible - The plug on my MH is already a big thick one and I would also like to use that outlet for other equipment. Is there a way that I could replace / fix that outlet besides using bigger plugs?

I don't think that it is a broken fuse because If I wiggle whatever is plugged into the outlet I can get it to work sometimes. Regardless, how do I check if the fuse needs replacing?

[qoute]Ihad my MH ballast plugged into the socket that is no longer working (high draw, but it never had a problem firing or with the breaker either[qoute]
