Flip flop 120 to 240v conversion

[SatoriSOG]

Hey everyone, I purchased a CAP extreme ballast flip before i moved a while back, after setting up all the electrics at my new place i realized i had gotten flip flops rated for 120v (all i could find actually...)

Ive been told i can not run 240v power into these, so what im wondering is if there is a particular relay i can replace to allow 240v power?


I am not an electrical genius and have basic knowledge, i cant see why it could be anything more than just switching out the relay...

and for the record I have searched, not many promising results but some still...Im posting this in hopes of some clarification and hopefully some firsthand insight...

thanks in advance guys

from your post I'm thinking that you are running your ballasts input voltage at 240v?
FWIW the input voltage doesn't change the lamp voltage or current so it makes no difference at the flip most flips have a 120v coil because its a very light load and doesn't require a heavy duty timer
