If you're somewhat handy, just cobble together some surface mount wiring to suit your needs.
Got mine at Lowe's

Thx but I need a 20a....triplite seems the best option.
This will plug in a 20a GFCI outlet.
A standard house outlet is actually not rated for 20a. its 16a.
if you look at your 20a gfci it has two slots one is a T . this is a 20a plug. http://www.stagelightingstore.com/H...gn=products&utm_medium=base&utm_source=google
a true 20a has a horizontal and vertical blade.
so just make sure your strip has that if you want to use a true 20a and the breaker is also 20a.

Oh I found a local seller...
Is this model worth it to buy.
Wonder why outlets are paired up like this.
The prong is typical 20a...
Pls suggest

You dont want that, it has a twist lock plug on it. Also, just because the outlet has the " T slot" doesnt mean you have a 20 amp circuit. You also need to verify the wire supplying the outlet is 12gauge, and the breaker is a 20@ breaker. And Triplite is my recommendation....just my .02

That guy is now giving it for 30 bucks for both strips! Maybe I can get an adapter from HD? Still not worth it?
Btw I checked the breaker it says 20amp, and wires 12 gauge
agreed^^^^^
20a twist is quite different.
Most reefs or many aren't actually going to draw 20A. if they are you'll want a second circuit. It why I went with the standard outlet.

no imo. its electrical. yea you could put the correct plug on it. I dont like adapters. I work with electricity.

I agree with Salty, even of you did find an adaptor, skip it. If your set on using those strips, you could cut the end off and put on reguler male ends... but probably not worth the hassel, honestly.
I only recommended tripplite because they are a quality product thats been proven safe and reliable. However, there are a million other brands that will work.

Im curious as to why you would want something that long? There are plenty of options.
The strip on the left is 20@ with 10 outlets in back, surge supression and one "master" switch. The other strip is 8 individually switched outlets. ( and theyre like 20" long)
