Hellllooooo!

I bought a blue LED spotlight on Ebay, but turns out its a 240v/50w light. I guess the US only uses 110v. The guy I bought it from told me I need a voltage converter. Anybody have any experience with these? What exactly am I looking for?

Like every LED moonlight that I've seen, its got the plug that goes into the wall, then about a foot of cord then the plug to the rest of the cord and spotlight. Make sense?

Anyone have any ideas?
 
Go to Amazon.com, they should run around $20. Never actually used one, they're small step-up transformers.

uugghhh 20 bucks lol. Thanks for showing me the right one though. I had no idea what I was looking for. I'll think about it lol. Just sucks cause the non working light was 16.
 
I've emailed some people about it on Ebay and they all tell me their product won't work. Can anybody link me what it is I need please?
 
a LED light that 50W? it's should be huge! I think I have a converter from 110V-220V that my mom bought 3 years ago for like 4-5 bucks!
 
don't bother with it, just buy the right one. a step up transformer is more like $50 min.
