How much power do Kinos draw?

[cheeseandachallenge]

I'm filming in a church with dodgy circuitry. We're shooting with a 800w Redhead, 2 15" Kinos and 3 battery powered LEDs.

I can't imagine the Readhead + Kinos being enough to overload the circuit (although they only have on power outlet), but I'm anxious regardless. I can't seem to figure out how much power the Kinos will draw, nothing online seems to have that info.

Is there anyway to figure it out, or get a ballpark figure? I know Kinos use a lot power than tungsten, but I am also pretty unfamiliar with them and am unsure how to work out how much power they'll draw.

Thanks.

So you want to know the amperage (the amount of current drawn)? 800 watts is the power. P=VI. P=power, V=voltage, I=amperage.

I=P/V (pluck the numbers into this formula)

P=800W
V=the outlet voltage in NZ (in volts)
I=the amount of current drawn in amps

So you want to know the amperage? P=UI. P=power, U=voltage, I=amperage.

I=P/U

P=800W
U=the outlet voltage in NZ

I can work out the amperage for the 800w, I'm concerned about the kinos, which don't seem to list any wattage or amperage

The Kinoflo website. I don't know which model yours are, but all the ones I looked at had the info available.

Depends on what Kino you're using. Generally, Kinos are relatively power-light, so you shouldn't have too much issue. It will tell you the power draw on the ballast, and also on the website.
