Oscar2 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 does anyone know if there are some half-decent step-down transformers for sale around here? i know where to buy a good quality 1.5 to 3kVA converter in Bangkok but for the moment i just want to test some nice 110-120 V lamps i bought that run max. 100 watt bulbs and i don't need anything quite that fancy. Amorn used to have some but they were total Chinese junk. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 If it's just lamps, run 2 in series off the 220V, both bulbs must be the same wattage. Any reason you don't want to fit 220V bulbs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Try Home Pro I've seen some there - the solid kind in incrimental specs/wattage..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellboy218 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Only seen Amorn selling the basic step down at around 100 or 150VA. IT is all Chinese I am afraid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any reason you don't want to fit 220V bulbs? sorry i didn't explain further. they are nice photography lamps that run GE Photoflood bulbs 250 Watts, 115-125V. the lamps say "WWP 660W 250V" and have a "UL tested" sticker on them. porcelain or ceramic socket. Made in China about 15 years ago. i bought them from an American photographer who assured me they are 110 volt lamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinalblue Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Order it through Amazon and send to a friend's address..... I went with Bright 500W but numerous W selections and it functions both as a step down/up unit for your return trip....... Reasonably priced...
