  • Magicshine light charger question

    Got my magicshine light (with new, improved battery) this weekend. Looks chuffing bright and can’t wait to try it out in the local woods this week.

    My question is: Can i cut the US plug off and just wire on a UK plug? or do i need a US to UK adaptor? And if i do re-wire it, will the wire colours be the same as in the UK?

    (PS: Yes, i realise that’s actually 3 questions)

    That’d be your best bet – less chance of making a costly (or dangerous) mistake

    Use a shaver plug adapter. Available at any DIY store and wilko’s for about a quid

    OP – Does your’s have a flying lead to the plug from the charger? Mine is an integral US plug/charge unit – and cutting that off and putting a UK plug on it would send 240VAC into the battery rather than the normal 8.4VDC…

    Anyway, just stick a US-UK adaptor on.
