There is no such thing as 110v 3 phase so no.

 

[pcduck]

why would they make a 1500 watt 3 phase light anyway? Are you sure it is 3 phase and not just 240 volts instead of 110 volts

 

[kalikisu]

its a baseball field light.

 

[Medman]

running three phase to your residence will definately raise some questions either way. And be costly

 

[kalikisu]

so its not a regular hookup, I see. I just seen one on craigslist for $50. But i dont want anything i cant readily plug up. Ah well.

You would need either a 3-phase service (which is ungodly expensive) or a single phase to 3 phase transformer (which is expensive too) and you get a power loss in em.
Don't bother with it IMO

BTW industrial sized lights like that typically have 3-phase services So to keep wiring simple they just make everything 3-phase.

Good god man.

1500 watts?

I use that in THREE lights almost..

 

[kalikisu]

I know. it would have been super bright. And the right price. Would 1500 watts be over kill for a small grow?

Sht. More the light the better....Just becomes an issue of heat and cost effectiveness, so probably not.

That light would be bigger then some plants Id say no not even worth it
