Ok so I have an autopilot 8-light controller that is wired 240v. This controller can be wired in either 120v or 240v. and it has female plugs for your lights that will accept either the 5-15p (standard 120v) male, or the 6-15p (standard 240v) male.
I puchased a spydrx+ from my local shop and they accidentally got the one with the 5-15p male but I wanted to run it 240v. He sold me an adapter sold by nanolux that turns a male 5-15p into a male 6-15p so that you can plug it into a 240v 6-15p outlet.
My question is, since the light controller accepts both plugs, do I really need this adapter? or can I just use the 5-15p male plug and plug it into the 240v wired controller?
120v and 240v questions

This website says each outlet runs 120 and 240. Is this the same model?
do you have a link to the one you purchased?
Who is the manufacturer?
What's the model number?

NothinYet is my nickname
yes that is the one I have. but regardless of the controller....
I feel like the 5-15p and 6-15p are only different so that people don't accidentally plug a 120v into a 240v or a 240v into a 120v.
but if my controller is wired for 240v, and my spydrx+ / gavita / meanwell drivers all accept 120-240v input, then I can just plug the "standard 120v" male plug coming out of them into the 240v controller.
