yea i think it would work but in VERY VERY VERY best situations your only going to be getting 52 Watts out of this on average probably about half of that. If you spend money on a nice converter you wont have much resistance so you will have 120V and about 40 watts which you should be able to increase. Talk with an electrican and see what they have to say. Im sure they can give you a better answer over the phone.
