Most likely 110 - 120v only. Freight would really cost - these come in

I was a bit shocked by the NZ price. However, it is reasonably
consistent with UK pricing.
Look on the bright side of living in the antipodes...

a reasonable chance of showing a nice blue sky free from jet contrails -
without having to resort to PS.
