220v down to 110v??
I got this awesome little projector clock from the US - had seen one in a hotel here and loved it but could only find it being sold in the US... It was supposedly battery powered, but when it arrived, it has a frikin' power lead with US plug, and a 110v only sticker.
How can I get this working here? Is there somewhere to get some kind of adaptor? Dragon Mart? Sharaf DG?

You can use a 22/110 converter but the frequency of the clock will be wrong for the power here, might run at the wrong speed!
Go to dragon mart with it and go in all the little electrical shops with it, or go back to the hotel and swap it with one that works here!

nah, the clock is no problem, its basically a little lamp that needs the power; the clock part is battery, but it projects a massive big ben style clock onto a wall.
I'll try and get some transformer from dragon mart
Cheers for the answers

If you are electrocuted, it's God's way of telling you that you have appallingly bad taste.
