So back in post #9, was I correct in my original thinking? |

Well then, I rescind my apology in post #12. :) Just kidding |

Huh, never thought of it like that as I always use Prime, but it does of course give you the option to buy single units from other Amazon vendors like this for example... http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00511QVVK/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new So technically YES you can buy singles, just not those add-on specific listings. |

Any power connection needs to have a strong mechanical connection as well as the electrical connection. If the mechanical connection eventually becomes a bit loose, it can become a high-resistance joint and cause an electrical fire. --- End quote --- Ditto what PL1 said. When you are wiring up something which runs high-voltage AC current, you do NOT want to risk a loose connection. |
