  1. V=IR. You can work it out from there. Be very carefull about mixing US 120v appliances with Thai equipment. In the US the neutral is grounded, therefore, one leg of the 120v is grounded. Consequently, most US appliances are designed with this in mind. You might notice that the plug is not symmetrical. In Thailand the 240v is not neceesarily grounded, also no two houses/buildings are wired the same. When you use a 120v appliance thru a step down/up transformer you will not know what you are getting with respect to the ground. Consequently, I would not do it. However, if you do, make sure the breaker protecting this circuit is a ground-fault breaker; that way your life will be protected.

    Halogen lamps burn exceedingly hot. Give them plenty of space, their radiated heat can ignite any nearby combustible material such as wood, cloth, etc.
