Cyberlights on 110V?

Hello all
I'm currently working on building up a good set of equipment for my attempt at lighting design. After reviewing many options for used equipment (And my parents demanding for me to buy American made) I've recently discovered the Cyberlight classic as a good choice. However, this brings up my nightmare, in that Cyberlight classics do not support 110V, which I will primarily be dealing with. This also applies to various other lights too, from various manufacturers.

I am curious if anyone knows of any way to get Cyberlights to work on 110V, even though they do not naturally support it. Preferrably, an easy, simplistic way, that won't cost more than the lights themselves to do. I've already looked all through the manual for the Cyberlights, and I understand about their 208/240V Support. So, is there any way to do this that is not unnaturally dangerous, or overly skilled/expensive?

Also, I'm quite curious if anyone knows why the Cyberlights and certain other fixtures from various manufacturers require 200+V, whereas other lights that use the same lamp and same features do not. I'm just curious on that.

Please do let me know! I am really hoping to be able to use High End systems equipment in time, but this nasty roadblock popped up and I must find a way around it to do so.

    [QUOTE=tadawson;53786]Use an external stepup transformer, about $100 the last I looked . . . . works fine, clean power, no probs. no mods to the fixtures . . .

    Sounds worth a shot... Can you recommend some to me, that will do 110V Stepping up to 208, and 220V for stuff like Cyberlights and other lights? Preferrably one that can support around say, 6 fixtures on it?
    I'm not very confident in my own ability to find the right one myself, I'm not very good with many electrical terms heh. If I can get a hold of some nice, heavy duty high capacity ones, that would open the possibilities i can pursue equipment wise very greatly!

    Please let me know a few to go for if possible!
    thanks
