Would a handful of adapter plugs - like tourists use when going to foreign countries - help any? Not for the big heavy power appliances or built-in lighting, but for little things. I know those were of use for my daughter when she too her 115v US devices over to 230v Australia for college study abroad.
Adapter plugs are handy for gadgets that can take a wide range of voltages, such as anything from 100 to 240 volt. Most mobile or PC charger can, and some other gadgets that actually really run on something like 12v DC, and where the wall plug really goes to a power supply that converts 110v ac to 12v dc. That converter might as well accept 100-240volt so you can sell it anywhere in the world.
Most other 110v electronic equipment will blow up or be a substantial fire hazard if you hook it up to 220v.
