Hi all, Shooting on a docked boat, the HMCS Haida to be specific, and will be using a 7K Honda generator to power some lights and production. The boat itself is grounded and has it's own electrical system. Wondering how I should go about grounding the generator/operating it on the boat/not getting in trouble with the electrical authority. Thanks!

This is excellent, thank you!

Hello all, electrical question here. Wondering what the best practices are for using household lighting fixtures (such as pendant lights, chandeliers that do not have a female edison/u ground and only bare hot, neutral and ground wires)? Specifically, I'd like to know how to wire them to adapt to Edison plugs, to be used with squeezers/dimmers etc. I’ve seen some fixtures with a second ground fixed to the metal housing separate from the insulated ground wire originating from the lamp base. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Hi all, Doing a night exterior shoot and for most of the film's story, a car is left unattended and running with the headlights on. My question is: how would I go about running the headlights off of an external power source like a generator? Just so that we are not relying on the car's battery, as the headlights will have to be on throughout our days. Would love to hear your advice. Best, Sam
