All depends on how many volts, 110 or 240? and how many "actual" watts the unit uses
I would think it will have a 13 amp rated plug on it, I doubt it uses half that though
Is there a blackstar website? :leaf: never heard of them :lol:

Can't tell you the specs for the Blackstar 600, however I can tell you the specs for the Blackstar 500 and the 900
900 WATT Blackstar LED Panel

When the 900 watt unit is first plugged in it will pull 4.9 amps at absolute peak and draw about 550 watts.
As the unit warms up (matter of minutes) the draw lowers from 4.9 amps to about 4.4 - 4.5 amps and the wattage drops to about 500-510 watts.

500 WATT Blackstar LED Panel

When the 500 watt unit is first plugged in it will pull 2.7 amps at absolute peak and draw about 300 watts.
As the unit warms up (matter of minutes) the draw lowers from 2.7 amps to about 2.3 - 2.4 amps and the wattage drops to about 270-280 watts.
