Consider using plugs and sockets from different countries for different
voltages, with whatever your local convention is for your local voltage.
That's what I do - I use 'proper' plugs on my 220V circuits and weird
US things on my 120V circuit. I don't have any problems sourcing the
parts, and it means that no-one can physically plug ordinary stuff into
the wierdo circuit.
