Hey guys, was curious if anyone knows if there is a way (without redoing wiring - I know absolutely nothing about electrical) to convert a 240v dryer outlet into a regular standard household outlet? Price isn't really too much of a concern, I dont mind paying $100 or whatever for a conversion box of some sort. I was speaking to my friend D_urbmon and he had mentiomed there is such a box you can purchase but I have been unable to locate any online, not necessarily to purchase, I just don't know the right name/phrase to describe it and would like more information. If I'm correct digital ballasts are able to run 240v as well? I am probably wrong but any help is appreciated!
Haha this is so funny. I need to do the exact sane thing, I literally just moved my dryer in search of a 30 amp circuit I saw on the panel, and realized it was one of those funky huge plugs. But the main wire is right there and if I could splice off of that and wire up another regular outlet fairly easily that would be nice. I run my lights at night so it is just getting wasted and I could use that to run some more. Sent from my SM-G900P using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Digital ballasts run anything from 120-240v, you can buy a cord that plugs straight into the ballast at a hardware store.

Sadly that one is only 500w. However there's one that does up to 3000w for $240! That's what I'd be grabbing! Thanks for finding that for me bud.
