At present i have 2 njd datamoons 2 acme super leos and 2 wiltech kaliedos all on my ultimax deck stand.My question is this if i was to get an 8 way lighting controll unit with the iec outlets.how do i wire my lights up to this?.Do i have to get new 3 core flex and new iec plugs and wire them up?
Can you open up the njd datamoons cover to change the cable flex also can i open up the acme leos to change the cables?

I currently use an NJD 8S (power controller). On each side of the mobile bar of my Ultimax stand, I have a 4 x IEC to 2 x Bulgin connections (a bit like a Standmate).

As most of my lights are powered in pairs, (e.g. your 2 x Datamoons), I plug each one into the corresponding socket on each 'standmate' (e.g. right hand socket). I then run a Bulgin to Bulgin lead between the two connection boxes, and a Bulgin to Bulgin lead back to the controller (Switches 5-8 on the NDJ controller have been hard-wired to a bulgin connection).

Hope this makes sense - if not, please PM me.
