Changing power plugs on universal ballasts?

[Grug]

Hi guys,

I've found a used Arri HMI from the States that I'd like to buy, it has a standard US power plug, but the ballast is universal, so should be fine for the 230v power down here in Australia.

I can't see any kind of switch on the ballast to select between 120v and 230v power, so I'm wondering whether simply changing out the US plug for a local one, or using a simple adapter will be all I need to do to use the ballast?

Does anyone know if there a particular process required to 'switch' the ballasts to use 230v power, or are they simply okay with being plugged into either voltage?

Cheers,

Mark

Put a new plug on it and it'll work, it detects the incoming voltage automatically.

I can confirm that. Just used an m18 220 the other day.

Thanks guys, I hoped that'd be the case. Much appreciated.
