    T-stat voltage

    hi guys. to guys who own a big apple or zilla t-stat. can anybody check the labels if there's any info on voltage requirements? i've been looking all over the net but can't find this info. i need a t-stat that can be used for 220V. herpstat seems out of the question since it's made for USA. i'm hoping i can use the zilla/big apple since it's manufactured in asia.

    i'm also looking to get the stc-1000 in ebay, but i want an analog t-stat to back up the digital.

    thanks in advance.

    The Zillas in the US run on 120. Couldn't you get a plug adaptor they use for computers when traveling to different countries?

    I do not know of any thermostat that operates on 220volts. Just curious but are you in another country? In the US all residential recepticles are going to be 120v/60hz with the exception of outlets for major electrical appliances or equipment. Herpstat, Vivarium Electronics, Helix, Ranco, Johnson, and even the lower end big apple herp, zilla, zoo med, etc. are all going to operate on 120volts. If you must have 220volts (which in US is closer to 240volts) your best bet would be a transformer to convert the power. Hope this helps.
