And for lights you only need low wattage. I keep a high watt converter (500 watt) in the kitchen for my food processor and blender, and a low watt converter with my tools. I also have a 1000 watt converter that I used to use with an AirStream Oven, and that one weighs a ton and is the size of a shoe box! I've used these for years, and they've saved me a lot of money (when I remember to use them...  Otherwise they cost me a fortune!)

I have to ask them how much shipping will cost me. Officially converters from 110 to 230 volts aren't allowed in the Netherlands anymore (nobody can tell why), but we have a couple of them lying around.
I'm now improving with an Ikea bed table, one you can put over your legs, which is white plastic and a bright LED light on batteries. Not ideal but for now it will do.
