Philippines 220 Volt Electrical Dimmer Switches
[ad#block]Question: I live in NYC but have a vacation house overseas in the Philippines that I’m just finishing. I’d like to use dimmer switches, light switches, and outlet face plates from America because there are more varieties, and less expensive. Will they work with in the Philippines? I know next to nothing about electrical – but the USA voltage is 110 and the Philippines voltage is 220.
Any advice?
Thanks!
