Guys, I'm thinking of getting a set of DX lights but I note that the charger has an American plug. Do you just use a travel plug and switch the chatger to 240v setting?

I plugged it into my shaver adapter and it works just fine

The charger will be a switch mode and cope with the different voltage automatically. Just need a plug adapter (or a pair of pliers and a UK plug).

Just bought a travel adapter from Robert Dyas that does all types of plug. £4.99.Can you not buy an adapter cheaper from Deal Extreme themselves when you buy the light?

Order one of these [url= http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2709 ]CLICKY[/url] when you order the lights. It's a lot smaller than an English plug but it seems to work fine with my lights.

Oh, and with the exchange rate, it cost £1.24
