NO NO NO NO and NO.

Have an electrician come out and re-wire the 220volt ceiling outlet to 110.

You will have to purchase a step-down transformer to convert 220 v.to 110v.You will have to know the total wattage of your piece of equipment to use the correct transformer. Buy a transformer that has roughly double the max watts of your equipment. For example if your total wattage of your equipment is say 110watts you buy a transformer with 200watts max.Very important :Always connect the appliance you are using into the 110v socket of the transformer before plugging the cord into the wall outlet. I hope this helps.

No, don't. You will damage the equipment, if not burn the adapter.
