That was me.

And you all thought I was kidding when I said I wasn't permitted to give UK
mains wiring colour codes?

Sad thing is, *I* thought I was kidding.

Thanks Tim

--snip

Somebody suggested using a 110V to 220V "travel" step up transformer with
added rectifier. Since these are almost always auto-transformers ***with no
isolation***  this is potentially **absolutely lethal**. You could land up
with 110V line connected to the frame of your camera.  DON'T EVEN THINK OF
DOING THIS.

Tim Hughes
