rebuilding 120V (us) > 220v (europe)

[vonkuttenberg]

hello, i am wondering about buying some used lighting equipment from arri from US and rebuilding it in europe (220V) ... is it hard operation or does it mean just changing cabel? (excluding easy changing bulbs from 120v > 220v version)

thanks a lot
martin

If we're talking about tungsten fixtures there really isn't much of anything to do other than perhaps change the plugs out and you don't necessarily have to do that. You could just use a plug adapter that just plugs onto the American plug and adapts it to your country's plug type. Other than that, the bulbs will be 220v versions and that is the main difference.

Its easy to use, not much to think of.
