Richard Ragon Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 While working on a gig last week, I was helping wrap some stingers for the gaffers. When I got to the end, I noticed a Hubbell female plug at the end, with a small green LED built right into the plug. I thought, to myself.. Oh, I would love to have this, so that I know the stinger is 'hot' or not. Currently I have 3 stingers, and I want to replace the old Hubbell plugs, with these new Hubbell plugs. Has anyone ever seen these on set yet? Hubbell Model numbers, so that I can buy these? Thanks -Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Anderson Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Look for hospital grade connectors. But you want one with a power indicator, I think. Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinstonC Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 I don’t know of a Hubble, but I know of a Leviton. I’ve seen these at Home Depot before Leviton 515CV-LIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard-NYNY Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 the click-on above did not connect to anything here is a google search based on the indicated model #: https://www.google.com/search?q=Leviton+515CV-LIT&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Ragon Posted November 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 While the Leviton works.. I just don't like the big yellow.. Looking for Hubbell either white or black. Thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Ragon Posted November 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 FOUND IT. Texted grip Butch over at Disneyland. I asked him if these were Disney broadcast stringers.. He said 'yep'. Gave me a model number. http://www.leviton.com/OA_HTML/ProductDetail.jsp?partnumber=5269-PLB§ion=37688&minisite=10251 It's actually Leviton 5269 PLB. The Leviton site has it as a 'power indicator'. They have this LED light on both sides, female and male. Just in case anyone wants to know. (I found this interesting, anyway) -Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinstonC Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Thanks for sharing the model numbers. Very cool that there are LEDs on both sides. Might have to get some as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Ragon Posted November 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Look for the model numbers with "L". Perhaps this means lamp, or LED?? It's also called "Power Indication". Cant tell you how many times I've found a house power, only to find it not working. Plunging it in, and see the light right on the male plug is nice.. Then for quick troubleshoots, you loose power, you can look down at the LED on the female end of your stinger. -Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Wasserman Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 If you want to use your own cable, or run power through a passthrough, you can buy both sides of the Leviton lighted connectors on their own. They're the Leviton 515PV-LIT (plug side) and 515CV-LIT (connector side) respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
