Well, couldn´t you just link up two 110V-110V Volt ones (like the primaries in series n the same with socondaries), or would´t that work at all?

I had a kind-of-similar problem until last week. I´m from Austria, where we have 220V @ 50Hz. For my ZenLite I needed 110V300W Lightbulbs...defenitely not conviniently available in the alps. I bought them last week in Mexico (surf trip).

Did you post it in an other forum here yet?
Oh, and I´m curious too, what do you need it for?

Hello all,

I have just picked up a cheap variable transformer today that does the job perfectly. As for the use I have a few pieces of equipment that runs on 220v, The mains at the sockets here is 240v. That was causing the transformers to saturate so I just needed something to take the extra 20v off.

Cheers.
