Takshaka,
Last I checked LOA didn't have any safety cert's outside of North America. It's a lot tougher to get approval in Europe. Your best bet would be to find someone on this side of the big pond to send you one. Ebay Perhaps?
The units are rated for 120V 60Hz but because they are electronic, not magnetic, they should operate well on 110V 50Hz. There might be a slight drop in output at 110V but until I get one to play with I won't know for sure.
One interesting side note, most of the new electronically ballasted lamps will run on DC. The mfg's may not advertise it, but I have run several different brands on a 144 Volt (Nominal) lead acid battery stack with good results! Most electronic ballasts convert the AC input to DC right up front so the ballast electronics dont know the difference. This woll not work with standard magnetic ballasts.
Peace & Good Growing. Harrad. |
