So I installed a timer (more of a power control box) last week that can be wired for 120V or 240V. For my application it was wired for 240V. The receptacles on the timer are these universal X-plug types that can accept 120 or 240V. So when my customer picked up the ballast it is also dual voltage (90-260V), however the only cord they supply is a standard 120V (Nema 1-15) and they dont sell the normal 240V (Nema 6-15) with the (2) horizontal blades due to the fact that the receptacles are also universal. This has to be a code violation right? Clearly a horrible design for many reasons, the most obvious being someone plugging a 120V device into this timer. By design they are only suppling 1 type cord for different voltages. Receptacles can be found here:
