Multi-Volt controller

So a question for everyone. What happens when you live in Europe, but you have grow equipment from Europe and the states?

Would you buy a step down power converter? or is there a power device that is designed to power multiple devices at once? Right now I have to run my 1000 watt ballast to a mechanical timer that is plugged into a power strip. On the same power strip i have a 100 watt step down power converter that my inline fan is plugged into. Then I have a 50 watt step down power converter plugged into the power strip as well. My 2 air king clip fans are plugged into that 50 watt power converter. Just curious if you see any danger in this?

It would be great to have device of some sort, that ran on 240 volt but when you plugged in your equipment it could power 240 and 120 volt. I hate plugging a 100 watt and 50 watt step down power converter into a power strip that already has a 1000 watt ballast on it. The power strip is rated for over 3000 watts so I am not so much worried about the power strip just curious if its safe plugging those power converters into a power strip. Looking for your feedback. I know the quick fix is buy a 240 volt inline fan and oscillating fans and dump the 120 volt equipment, but I bought it and its brand new, not willing to get rid of it.

Please help if you can understand all of this and you have any ideas on this. Thanks.
