I brought my Ouverture over from Hong Kong and it works perfectly with a step-up transformer. It should be fine with your BeoVision; however cathode ray TV's use a lot of power and you'll need a transformer with a high capacity to be safe. A 32" cathode ray TV uses 120 watts on average - up to 270 watts on high brightness - so you'll

Wish they still made that 110V Dinalight. eBay, by the way, has one up right now, at a buy-it-now price of $250. Looks beautiful. Also, a "mint, original box" LC1, at a buy-it-now price of $265. Wow.

Did my attitude in my postings suggest otherwise? Perhaps I could have chosen a more precise word, but definitions of "to ramble" do include "to walk leisurely

I bought them from HOMEe . They still seem to have them in stock! Leo

Neither, I was actually enjoying afternoon tea (vacationing in Hong Kong)! Seeing that the next viable alternative is the expensive AluDim (since the Dinalights are poor performers), now seems a good time to buy some SmartDimmers while they are still available. Leo
