What ho one and all,
I have a 240v photo-flash unit that can power up to 4 heads, but I only have three.
The unit has a switch that allows full or 1/4 power. with one head plugged in, I either have 100% or 25% of the output, so can control within reason the power of the light source. With two heads plugged in, the output is halved.
Sometimes, I don't want to use three heads but do want to reduce the output. The easy option is to move the light further way, but that changes the light to more of a point source.
The attached image is the output plug (an old one before I rewired the flash heads). Is there a way to wire some plugs that will allow me to reduce the output but not actually have a light attached? ie. make the power pack think there are three lights attached when there are only two.
Thanks and toodle pip
