In the instructions it says it has a dual-voltage ballast, is this true and can the plugs be cut and replaced with sockets for 240volt Australia?

Yes I believe you could take the cord off and order the replacement for 240 but if your worried about heat from the balast this light doesn't get too hot with proper ventalation .

The one in the photo is a Hydrofarm plug but it all depends on what inventory is being sold as they come from Hydrofarm both ways...if you wind up getting the wrong style there is a small adapter cord that can convert it either way for less than $10...so look for the best price on the Ballast itself and worry about the cord later

My guess is no. But, I'm pretty sure you can find a 240v model for use in UK or Aust. I recommend reaching out to the manufacturer. I bought one about 7 months ago and was able to replace a faulty motion sensor switch without running new wires. Thus was the perfect solution. Good luck mate,

Mine has the normal American 120 V plug. Not sure what you have in Australia. But, converters are not hard to come by if you really want the machine.

I have no knowledge of Australian electrical requirements. All I can tell you is that it is a 3 prong plug that goes into a 110 plug

Yes, the power supply is rated for 120 - 240 VAC input. You would simply need to use an adapter for the US style plug to the New Zealand style plug.

the reason for the ballast is to convert DC into AC. So if you're replacing one, as long as it's for a 35w hid bulb, it'll work perfectly.

Hey, I'm an Australian customer, I had to buy an adaptor for the power plug plug to have it operate, but it runs absolutely fine on AC240v 50hz, the stock product has an American plug that supports 110v, the plug in transformer (power supply is, 100-240v, 2A, 50-60hz) so it is compatable with Australian specs, Great product though :D

This machine has a 110 plug and no manuel switch that goes from 110 to 240. 240 would probably fry the wiring in this small appliance, sorry. I have welded and plasma cut with 240 before. We run on AC current here in the US, not DC. Why don't you try to contact the manufacturer directly and ask if the have another appliance better suited to your market. Sorry, I do not have anymore ideas. Martha

I would have to agree with DB ,the current ballast would not start the 250 watt ed28

Hello, my plug came with 120 to 240V input and 23V DC output. You need to get an USA to Australian power adaptor, as the Black and Decker plug is a USA power point.

Mine is only to be used on 120 voltage. Don't know whether they make one with dual voltage or not.

Yes,it worked in the U.K. Fine with 240 volts, so you will just need an Australian plug adapter for their socket fitting.

Yes. The thunder ballast is interchangeable with 120 and 240 outlets. I am satisfied with my purchase so far. For the price point these ballasts are just about as good as it gets.

According to the "Users Manual" under "System Requirement: "All electrical sockets are 3 pronged with the third prong properly GROUNDED. 110V and 240 volts the SAME." I would go to "http://www.intercomcentral.com" (The address on the User Manual) and pose the question there. The intercom that you are looking at is the "Intercom Central" (FM246-Generation II Four Channels). I hope this helps.

This has a standard 120v three prong plug. I think your lights will have a different three prong plug on the ballast.

This unit yes, what this comes with is two battiers (NP-FW50) that have a bit more capacity than stock. The unit will charge using 12volt using the included cigarette lighter power cord or from either European or US style power attachments. In the top/left of the picture you can see the adapter to make it usable in Europe with 240Volts. I do NOT know if Australia uses the same plugs as Europe, but if so, this one has you covered.
