Beware of seemingly low-cost gifts
On a FB (yes, I know) group someone was recounting thier experience as main sparks at a festival.
The festival peeps were happy as pigs in shit about the way that LEDs had broken through for stage lighting but there was so much cheap Chinese LED lighting designed purely for output that old fashioned things like PF correction had been ignored.
In order to re-balance the loads the sparks had to set up about 50kw of extra loading to keep the generators happy..
Biting the hand that feeds IT
