Step 3 — Device compatibility

Does your device support dual voltage?

Look at the label on your device or power adapter. If it says something like '100–240V', it works worldwide and you may not need a transformer.

Simple Process

How it works in 4 steps

1

Check your device label

Find the wattage (W) and voltage rating (V) printed on your device or its power adapter — usually on the bottom or back.

2

Know your destination voltage

Look up whether your destination country uses 110–120V or 220–240V using our map above.

3

Choose the right transformer

Select a step-up or step-down model with a wattage rating at least 50% higher than your device needs.

4

Travelsafely

Plug your LiteFuze transformer into the wall, connect your device to the transformer, and you're good to go.

Safety Tips

Important safety warnings

Protect your devices and yourself by following these guidelines.

Don't undersize your transformer

Always get a transformer rated at least 50% above your device's wattage. Running at full capacity causes overheating and reduces lifespan.

Never use a plug adapter alone

A plug adapter only changes the plug shape — it does NOT convert voltage. Using only an adapter with a non-dual-voltage device will destroy it.

Avoid cheap, uncertified converters

Low-quality converters can output unstable voltage that damages sensitive electronics. LiteFuze products are UL-certified and CE- marked.

Allow warm-up time

Let your transformer warm up for 1–2 minutes before connecting your device. Never leave a transformer unattended when in use.
