Model: HS220

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

I just bought HS200 and HS220 thinking both are 50/60 Hz. However, I realized that HS220 (dimmer) operates at 120v at 60 Hz. Can I still use HS220 in Tokyo Japan safely? I thought the frequency mattered the most for the motor (faster or slower) but as it has something to do with the light which creates heat, I wanted to make sure. Thanks.

This is not recommended as the frequency differences might lead to some usage problems such as noise, (connected light) flicking, overheat, etc.
