Actually, adapting the RBT is much easier than the FED! 

On the back near to the power cord, there is a little black plate which will 
have "110" showing on it. 

This is a fuse holder which comes out (put a screwdriver into the oblong 
"hole" and push the latch) Now, if you examine the holder for the fuse behind 
the "110" you will find that the whole block comes out. On the back, in 
addition to the "110" you will see "220" and "240". Just turn the block so 
that the appropriate voltage show through and replace the fuses. 

Simple, eh?

Aren't you lucky you don't! A transformer for 500 watts worth of Halogen 
bulbs, plus all the electronics in an RBT would be a heavy and expensive 
beast!
