I'm no electrician so i'm seeking advice. I'd like to order a light kit 600watt hps and can fan and import to Thailand. Thailand runs on 220v what do you recommend I do? It's impossible to source these locally.

I always thought the circuits were rated higher than what is used.
In other words a standard 120 outlet runs actual 110v appliances, and the 240 runs actual 220 appliances.

220 to 240 vac is a range of acceptability, some devices are rated at 230. The real issue is frequency. 50 or 60 hertz? If the ballast is rated for both then its good to go with a plug adapter or new power cord.
