Hi, I like this magnifying lamp, can I use it in South America, I mean with 220V, I gues with a converter shouldn't be a problem, right?

Well, it's definitely 110, but a converter should work. Check out the info on the converter container, it should tell you. It's a great lamp.

No, just plug it into an outlet you would plug a lamp into; assuming you live in the U.S. I cannot vouch for other countries, I am not familiar with their voltages.

no problem! I use like it a lot. but one time I used 220v and it stopped working permanently. now i use NuMe's megastar (u can find many discount coupons online)

I personally have not had the chance to take it back to Europe yet but I have taken back a lot of equipment such as my Numark 4trak turntables and other devices which have not had any issues regarding voltage differences that are found in European outlets versus American outlets. I cannot guarantee anything but I really don't think you will need a transformer to convert the power.

I purchased this as a gift, but I would think you would need an adapter to 110 electricity. It is an adorable lamp.

hey man, a few months ago a bought this unit, I live in south america and we also have 220 volt. but that is not a problem any more, you just have to get an electrical converter transformer in a electric shop, they are not expensive and the sound sistem works really good with it, even when there is a blackout or something the transformer shout down all system for protection of the equipment. so is very easy to get the system works in a 220 volt country.

I would doubt that the US version of the unit would work on 220V. I would expect that both the electronics and the bulb would be destroyed. Unfortunately, it appears from the Cooper lighting website that they do not offer a model for 220 Volts.Hope that helps,Gerald Entine

I do not think you should use it with 220V. It is meant for 115-120. Be safe.

Yes you can and it being a 300w converter means you can run 300w of electrical equipment on it. For instance, it has the capacity to run two 100W light bulbs and two 50W light bulbs (all together 300W) at the same time. The problem we encounter when going from one country to another is the voltage. This converter can either convert up to 220 or convert down to 110. So you would plug it in a US plug and plug your product in the 220 outlet in the front of the converter. Good luck

When I was in Peru last year they had the same outlets that we have in the US so no converter was needed. I only used them in the Lima airport and at a hostel in Cuzco.

I have only used it in a household lamp base at 110V, cannot comment on its use for 220V

This is a nicely designed and built, though expensive, lamp. Its power requirements are 24 volts at 2 amperes. Suck an adapter can very easily be bought or built. You shouldn't have to "throw away the baby with the bath water" Try one of these:https://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StoreCatalogDrillDownView?langId=-1&storeId;=10001&catalogId;=10001&freeText;=24V&refine;=1&history;=9lwv79sl%7CfreeText~ac%2Badapter%5Esearch_type~jamecoall%5EprodPage~15%5Epage~SEARCH%252BNAV

You would need a transformer, may not really be worth it. If you live in europe, I would suggest buy from amazon uk or de. Then you can use it with 220v.

Yes, you can use this for 220v country. I am using the same converter for my heater in India.

Not unless the country uses the same voltage as the U.S. even with a converter you run the risk of drawing too many amps for too long and will cause electrical fire. I would stay away from any American powered electronic if not for use in America

The charger runs on 110V, you have to check if you need a converter if you use more than one charge.http://gosouthamerica.about.com/od/packing/a/Electricity-In-South-America-Outlets-And-Adapters.htm

This has multiple types of adaptors but I do not know specifically about Peru. Be aware this is only an adaptor, NOT A CONVERTER. A converter changes the voltage, an adaptor merely changes the prongs to fit the outlet.
